Poems and Doodles: By Mark Smith

By Mark R. Smith

I am a truck driver. I spend a lot of time driving and a fair amount of time waiting. To make the time go faster I doodle. From time to time people have looked over my shoulder and commented. Those comments have always been positive. Some have suggested that I put my doodles in the public domain. I gave it some thought and decided, what the heck, why not? So to make a long story short, here they are and I hope you find them interesting as I do.
