Poetically Eclectic
A complete mish-mash of 130 mostly rhyming poems on subjects from dancing kangaroos to angels, remembrance, joy, weather, sorrow, love, moles, dragons in various sizes, fairy blacksmiths, war, ecology, and many less easily defined subjects. About thirty have been published previously here and there, usually singly in themed publications. From four lines to sixty verses, there's probably one you'll love and one you'll hate. There are also four short stories which are about gun running, fantasy aliens, a faithful hound, and a young wolf asking a rabbit to help him find fast food.

Always read a lot of Poetry, Science Fiction, and Fantasy, then went to writing poetry. Firstly because I needed the poems to say how I felt, then because I enjoyed writing them. Now, since I'm sat and the computer screen is here, empty, I've tried short stories as well. I'd move, but the dog insists I sit where he can lie under my arm.
