Foreword
These poems are my story
and when I write a poem
the White Goddess of the Moon is with me.
She touches
the good and she touches
the bad... she leaves me
in the day and she leaves me
in the night...
And I leave these to my family
And to anyone else who finds them...
Above all, I wish to do no harm.

Most of the poems on this website can be viewed on smaller screens like a smartphone, but it is not recommended as many of the poems are only formatted for larger screens like a desktop, laptop or ten inch tablet.
