Words began as a collection of thoughts and feelings expressed and written on bits of paper, napkins and in notebooks, at home, on the bus, at work and wherever the thoughts and feelings hit me.

After twelve years of expression it was time to let the world know how I felt. The world has responded well and in earnest. It too has felt this way. My thoughts and feelings are inherently complex but written in the simplest of forms. One could be duped into taking them at face value. I am compelled to tell you such is the way of folly.

What I portray with commonly used words ebb from the deepest of feelings and in most cases will require thoughtful reflection.

So read, ponder, and enjoy my Words of Poetic Verse.

It is indeed my pleasure to share them with you.

Getting *SPAM* is like getting fruitcake for the holidays.
Unless, of course, you like fruitcake.
