Poetry

I write mostly un-rhymed verse of various lengths and line structures. The forms follow a peculiar logic of my own, and revisit the same themes of emotional and spiritual questing.

The categories below are not precise, but are my vain attempt to organize the pieces. The themes of many works will straddle these admittedly artificial divides, but I hope the classifications make it easier for you to navigate through them.
  • Fractured Story Telling   ( 143 Articles )
    Narrative excursions into the twisted pathways of my imagination, sometimes inspired by dreams and other times the machinations of a stimulus absorbing mind.
  • In-Out of Love   ( 71 Articles )
    Poems about love in its myriad manifestations, and the complex emotions it provokes. The idealistic view of mortal transcendance can sometimes devolve into petty anger and despair.
  • Between Man and Machine   ( 18 Articles )
    Exploring the technological confrontations and cohabitations occurring in our 21st Century fun house
  • A Faithless Spirit   ( 47 Articles )
    Poems with a spiritual bent. They are sometimes hopeful, sometimes skeptical, and many times very ambiguous about what lies beyond this reality.
  • Natural Wonders and Blunders   ( 62 Articles )
    Poems about natural settings and inspirations. Some are idyllic; some are informed by a deep concern for the way we've damaged the environment that should be sustaining us.
  • A social malfunction   ( 58 Articles )
    Observations of a societal nature
  • Catch as Catch Can   ( 85 Articles )
    A catch-all of all the poems I can't fit into any other category. My mind tends to wander and find inspiration in the minutiae of my everyday surroundings.
  • Two Souls, Twin Lives   ( 9 Articles )
    A myth-based poem cycle following the twin transformations of two linked souls
  • Odd Bits   ( 617 Articles )
    Short-form poems inspired by Japanese haiku and tanka
  • Lessons from foreign gods   ( 7 Articles )
  • The Stationary Traveler   ( 20 Articles )
    A series of loosely related micro-poems.
  • Shakespeare riffs   ( 7 Articles )
    Jumbling and repurposing lines from the Bard's great plays
