    This should be center-justified, to form the shape of a Prince Rupert's Drop.
  • After the Appendectomy,
    2/4/2010
    As I was writing this poem, several very strong images came to my mind, and I wondered how they worked together. Once I discovered their archetypal significance, I used more images from that same garden.

    My wife and I planted a mango pit. It's about 1½ feet tall now, and grows in spurts. The leaves change colors from purple to green. We love it!

  • A Temperate Proposal, Or "Kill the Whales to Save the World"

  • Wolf, Be Not Loud
    4/22/2009
    The wolf always seems to get the worst of it in the end. And, thus, a sonnet-ode to him, the would-be devourer of pigs, goats, and sheep in the immortal style of metaphysical poet John Donne (1572-1631).
  • The Cost of Grammar Wars: Survival of the Fittest
    4/22/2009
    Grammatical errors destroy a business image and can hurt business. Anecdotal evidence for this claim abounds, but empirical evidence is scarce. I created my own exploratory survey. I also explore the trends in educational standards.
  • The Heater
    4/21/2009
    My joyful mornings are sometimes ruined by stubborn frost (especially this year) that refuses to yield to my window-scraper. Thus, an ode to the car heater. Notice the alliterative sounds of ice scraping, creaking, or melting.

    4/17/2009
    I love the smell of old books. This is a strict Crapsey cinquain that I hope helps the reader experience this smell.

    A descriptive poem about going to the gym, detailing mainly olfactory and tactile responses.
