  2. Very cool. I like your poems I have written a novel and several short stories but never a poem. I think it is because as a child the teachers drove into the whole rhyming thing and I didn't get past that. Although I imagine that by being a good poet you would have an excellent command of words which would make writing a novel easier. Good luck on your endeavors.

  9. I have to admit to not being a poetry fan and yet I enjoy reading your pieces because of your word choice. They're like word paintings.
