Welcome to my collection of poetry!
I am a believer that poetry should rhyme; I have rarely enjoyed the free form style. In addition, my poetry usually conveys a story.
Some of the poems are acrostic - the first letter of each line spells a word. Most of these poems were written for various contests.
Check out my favorites - The Cycle of Life, Love Angel, and New Life.
