The Selections Below
I offer these poems humbly, knowing full well that they need a great deal of work. But hoping that by allowing them to breathe, the work necessary will become far more certain, more clear. Sometimes, they must be released from their spells of paper, reincarnated as it were, to be able to speak and show their flaws--and the flaws are great and many. But these children are the ones I allow out to play because they will play well with others and they can grow and change and become more functional members of poetic society. The others I cherish and care for, but do not expose to the outside world both for their benefit and the benefit of the world at large.
