Up From the Surface

My poems are mostly centered on human behavior, problems, and possible solutions. They also speak of the oneness of our existence, in relation to all other life on the planet, while taking on personal responsibility for the many problems that exist in society, and the environment. My poetry is well-laced with plenty of self reflection, the plight of us common mortals, and maybe developing our greater self, as opposed to allowing our lesser self to remain in control. Also a bit of humor, especially when it comes to our politics, and just the general frame of my fleeting mind, concerning most things,seem to fill the pages of my poetry. Oh yeah, let's not forget the few poems of love, and more sadly,those concerning that loss of love.
