Poetry and Its Significance

Poetry is closest to the heart. Through its symbols, word pictures, intuition, feelings and emotions it is a hint of history, the momentary present and a visionary tool of the future.

The Nature of Poems and Paintings

A poem or a painting is analogous to an iceberg10% visible, 90% hidden meaning. The reader provides the narrative.

My Creative Journey

These poems, with the exception of five or six, were written after 2000. They show my explorations into the arts, love, people I met along the way, my protestations, introspections, and new perspectives I gained after times of change, personal problems and separations from those I love.

Personal Growth Through Poetry

The poems enabled me to find new strength, to harness my thoughts of years past, to live peaceably in the present and to recognize that a future of dreams and hopes can become reality.
