Another way in which I enjoy releasing agression, frustration, happiness, or sadness is in the pursuit of poetry.
For me, my poetry is a reflection of the creativity, or lack of creativity that I have. Being a scientist by training,
I find that both my poetry, and my photography, are ways in which I can break from the static routine of my life.
I do not believe I am a great writer, rather, I write to express my views on life, relationships, and anything that
catches my eye. Please feel free to puruse the poems that I have put up on the site (they are all in acrobat format,
for acrobat reader, click here). I have written over 100 poems and hope to continue writing when the mood takes
me. Any comments, positive or negative, on my poetry are very welcome. All poems are my thoughts and are
copyrighted by me. Some have been published on poetry.com. Enjoy!

This poem is a work in progress, but is one that I really enjoy. It is an attempt at an epic poem |
This poem reflects the struggels that I sometimes have and the merging of epic fantasy and the difficulties of reality |
This poem looks at the issue of poverty and of helping people who need it |

Trying to fix other peoples problems sometimes makes it harder to evaluate our own problems and shortcomings. This poem addresses those issues and the desire to find someone to listen to our own problems, which, should not be the only reason to be with someone |
This is one of my most favorite poems. It deals with prejudice with a fantasy twist. It attempts to boil down hatred to a lack of understanding and it tries to relate an important thing in judging people - character. |
Many times in life we feel mired in the static, day to day routine. When that happens I try and break out of the monotony of life and realize that life is truly what we make it. We have control of the static retinue in which we partake. |

So many people and religions think they know what is right. This poem marks an evolution in my own thoughts and beliefs. It portrays my true agnostism in that I do not know what is best for others and my journey in life is one in which I try to figure out what is best for me. That journey has led me to the belief that I cannot know what is best for others, so don't tell me what is best for me |
Saying goodbye in a relationship is something that I have done and each time is different. How we respond to saying goodbye differs in each circumstance. This poem was a cathartic purging of how I felt after one break up in particular. |
We all search for answers. This poem addresses that search, both for answers in relationships as well as in life in general. In addition, this poem recognizes the possible existence of divinity, but my own uncertainty of who or what that divinity is - again an answer never found |
