Welcome to Poetical Journeys – This is this site’s third site revision. The original site was first published in 2001. This newest version is significantly simplified from the 200+ pages in the old one. You will continue to discover my latest poetry and photography, read an occasional vignette, receive a recommendation or two, learn about my twenty-nine books, and generally experience an upbeat feel.

My Poetry

While my previous site featured hundreds of poems, this site will showcase a smaller number, which will be updated regularly, typically weekly. The poems will often include photographs appropriate to the content.

This poem was written based on an old fable. I believe it often holds true today. It was also popular on Facebook with over 2000 views.

A while back, a company sent me this short free video. I had some fun creating a short poem from it. The visuals and words do not completely match, but still a fun effort.
