My Poetry

I started this blog so I could neatly archive my work. You should find my poetry very diverse. I would like to believe there is something here for almost everyone.

It was only recently that I became interested in poetry. I started taking care of my mother after she suffered a stroke and we began writing stories and poems together. It has been very therapeutic for us both.

This isn't a complete collection of my poetry, my first poems I self published under the moniker, A Pet Banana Production. The first self published book, "A Pet Banana" is a rhyme/story about colors and the second is a collection of poetry I created with my mother titled, "An Elephant is On My House." I hope you enjoy my writing and I would love a visit to my author page!
Thanks!

Milk Dud (take 2)

I just want to say,
I’m sorry I have been a WHEY.

It’s just life makes me curdle,
As I churn until the morrow
And strain through the sorrow

Will I ever get on top?
Since I’m such a milksop?
These thoughts I won’t UDDER
I’m sure I will get BUTTER!

Poetic license?
Poetic apology?
Poetic justice?
