Personal


A tasty cocktail of literary pretension, sneaky kindness and sarcasm
Needs solid, buttressed convictions to bridge personal chasms.

A sprinkler of brilliance that turns in all directions
From her well-designed form cannot long evade detection.

An enormous, aware iconoclast in politically incorrect coating
Can replace the day or garnish it.  Depends on how it's going.

An open-armed, crystal-voiced smile dispenser
Makes it impossible to ignore or forget her.

A human metronome with propellers and an airhorn glued on top
Can help to keep you going, and he'll surely make you stop.
In life, who your friends are counts for a lot,
Maybe everything.

  1. Friends definitely count for everything when it comes to my writing. Regardless of their execution, every poem I write has a good idea behind it, and for the most part, they're not my ideas.
