WELCOME

..and here are a few things to keep in mind:

This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.

Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”

Respect

Some say we aren’t respectful.
We should better respect our elders.
But I don’t hear them say
Many "yes mams" or "sirs."

I thought that respect was
A two way deal.
Some think to give us
Respect is unreal.

Well, I have news for them,
These few should take a glance
At what we have done,
And give us a fair chance.
