POEMS

When writing, words appear, that for some reason, come out in rhyme and prose. Sometimes the rhyme is inconsistent, other times they are melodies and tunes, as sweet and pleasing as a lover's kiss to the ear. In this my poems do not follow rules and laws endemic in the literature world. (At least I don't think they do.) Below, you will find my poetry. They all have meaning to me and may come with rhythms and dance while others are angry cymbal crashes for all the world to hear. Enjoy!!!

Homelessness and it's impact on passersby.
