I consider myself a matured lover of the poetic form, especially the sonnet and sestina, but can adjust to any particular form of expression. I have recently acquired poems that I had written and am anxious to share them, and some new material, as soon as possible, with everyone who cares to view them. I write in the strict form for sonnets and sestinas, in iambic pentameter, and use the conventions of captilization and puncuation to provide breaks in understanding the tone, meaning, and intention of the poem. I am looking forward to a great New Year and wish everyone a happy, healthy and creative life.
