POETRY

Life written is much stronger than life spoken because the written word is left to the reader’s interpretation for tone and intonation. You decide how it “sounds” to you as you read... all based on the sound system you play my words on. They are strong, insightful and inciteful – as they were meant to provoke the reader to thought and possibly... action!
