I’ve done this before.

This is my third collection of self-published poems, the first being a book of poems (beginnings), published in 1999 and the second being thought whisper want, published in 2000. Many of the poems from those two collections appear here in this collection, along with poems I’ve written since 2000. Like any author I guess, the poems written here are at the same time highly personal and at the same time highly not. In the end, all are inspired by life itself, and all those who touch my life may or may not find parts of themselves sprinkled across these pages. As I’ve said before - Life: It’s like sucking on a CRAZY cherry.

I hope you enjoy these poems, some are excellent, some are good, and some are probably just plain awful. But they were all were written by me at one point or another, and so that’s why they appear here. May your judgements be fair.

Cheers,
