Traditional Poetry
I started writing poetry in my fourth grade English class and have continued on and off, as the mood strikes. Like my visual poetry, I tend to write accessible poems. One of my favorite poets is Robert Frost. I am a fan of rhythm and alliteration, but have also explored some free verse forms. I am attempting to get some poems published in print or online journals, so some of my best, most recent works are not currently on this site. Some selections are below; click on the titles to read.
