    About this ebook

    This book of poems is an attempt to introduce me to anyone who would like to know me. Every poem was/is written to clarify, for myself, in my mind, some thought—idea—that interested me. I would caution that one of my early epiphanies was that consistency is a sign of a closed mind, so, don’t be surprised by an abundance of inconsistencies. That said, you must believe me when I tell you that every thought was thoroughly thought out, at the time that the poem was written. And, thanks for thinking about these things with me.

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
