This is my homepage but most of my web presence is on my blog, Book Reviews and More. It is a collection of my published and unpublished writing, mostly book reviews, with a few articles and reflection's. If you want to poke around here the key sections are Poetry, Artwork, and Lists.

I have written poetry for as long as I can remember. And I try and read a book or 2 of poetry each year.

A Friend in Need!

I saw an old lady in the park
  Seated upon a wooden bench
       And in her I did see
The strength I needed to carry on and proceed

She seemed so lonely and depressed
  Yet once up close I did see
       A face filled with joy
A face filled with glee, happier than I could be

She was intent upon her work
  She didn’t notice me there
       And she had a walkman on
And in her hand was a pen drawing and writing

She was so happy that I could see
  That some of it rubbed off on me
       And if a lady so old and frail
Could carry on then I knew I could prevail

Seated upon a wooden bench
  I saw an old lady in the park
       I wonder what she would think of me
If she knew of what she did to my heart

I went to the park to help out a friend I need
A friend I had not met yet
She pushed a cart and lived from it too

I went to the park to help out a friend
Only to find out the friend in need was me.
