Poetry Blog

I have been writing poetry since I was in college. In my junior year, there was a poetry class at a time slot that worked for me, so I took it for the fun of it. That class hooked me on verse and taught me how to appreciate poetry. I took that class for fun, not expecting much out of it. It ended up opening a whole new world for me. I have been reading and writing poetry regularly ever since.

What Kind of Society?

We live in a time when people break our societal norms for decent behavior more often and more spectacularly than at any other time in memory. There are countless examples of people having tantrums on planes, abusing flight staff, and inconveniencing everyone on the flight. There are numerous other examples of abuse of service staff in restaurants, grocery stores, airports, and other public spaces.
