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 extremely popular on Facebook with over 13,000 views in a week.

Pictured is one of my favorite places on the Big Island. This poem was FB popular with over 4,000 views.

A poetical play on William Faulkner’s quote. However, one reader pointed out that a quote by André Gide was a closer fit to the picture and poem. After reading his quote, I agreed. Though the poem only had slightly over 2600 views, it is one of my favorites.
