ABOUT (ME) THE WRITER
Introduction
It was sometime in my early teens that I began to write poetry. It started as a scribbling of brief quotations, observations, and attempts at wit eventually growing into poetic form. I cannot pinpoint an exact date or even an exact poem that would effectively describe being my first time. For me there was no single defining epiphany that told me you’re a poet.
It was a gradual slide into that role.
Originally a collection of just 65 poems, Change of Seasons 3rd Edition
now incorporates 100 of my favorite personal pieces written through my life. The poems span nearly two decades of soul searching, life lessons, among many other events both good and bad.
The poems are presented in alphabetical order and are not dated or accompanied by any notes. As poetry is subjective, many of these poems mean something different to me now than when they were written. Your interpretation of them is even more important than what they meant or mean to me.
Please enjoy and I hope that maybe they inspire you.

Breezes pass my heart good-bye.
Shall I follow and make a dream of wind?
These days that pass like breezes blow,

A victim of a slow hearted good-bye.
For then the
