Bloggers Photo

I am a retired teacher and actor, originally from Texas. I immigrated to Missouri in 2003 and have been living in Springfield ever since. I enjoy writing very much and tend to focus most of my efforts on poetry. I like to think that my work displays a spectrum of styles and themes that are generously laced with my unique sense of humor, seriousness, nostalgia, reflection, exaggeration, fabrication, inspiration, and imagination.

I have two published volumes of poems that are available on Amazon: Confessions of a Closet Poet, and Pardon My Poetry, Volume One.

Though not intended to change the world in any significant way, I do hope that, in some small way, my verses might help to make it a kinder, friendlier, happier place.
