Salutations!

You'll find I write free-verse poetry, for the most part.

Please enjoy.

I do not agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
--Voltaire

" People accuse me of being cross and crabbed and unsociable, and they are quite right. "
--Red Reera the Yookoohoo, from L. Frank Baum's "Glinda of Oz"

Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight;
You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.
--Barenaked Ladies, "Lovers in a Dangerous Time"

"Is it so terrible, then, to be a witch?" Regeane asked.
"No." Daedalus smiled. "For the earth is a beautiful soft woman, and the witch is her voice."
--Alice Borchardt, "The Silver Wolf"

Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
--from The Charge of the Goddess

She says, "To people who are good, I am good. And to people who are not good? I am good to them, too." This is true goodness.
--from the Tao Te Ching

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.
--Albert Einstein

4. Realization
A realization of the fact that I can never find the words to write a poem-or anything-that captures my own deepest emotions. Brush-strokes do the job, though...

5. Imitation of Whitman
A little homage to Walt Whitman, this is what I see when I "sit and look out."

6. Virago reviews
This poem is meant to be read aloud, with a drawn-out, syncopated rhythm. In order to be effective, it must have a beat. Dig it, cats?

8. Dragon reviews
Just a little pseudo-rhyming poem I came up with. It's kind of deep, really, if I do say so.

13. Phoenix reviews
Another poem vaguely inspired by Elphaba of Gregory Maguire's book. A tad sappy, I think. Still good, though, I hope. Please read and review.

17. Rider
I suppose the "rider" in this poem could represent each of us as we wander through the darker, challenging parts of our lives.

20. Contemplation
A somewhat abstract poem; I'm not even quite sure what I was trying to convey. Something about the world's unfathomable complexity and the futility of trying to understand it...

30. Untitled reviews
I'm at a loss when it comes to titling this. Nothing I can think of really captures it. It's a surreal, psycological piece that basically just wrote itself. Enjoy.

38. Two-Tone reviews
This was written in a hurry, as an assignment, so I don't think it's of my highest quality of work. It's about two colors that represent me.
