Just Trying to Make Sense of it All

This is not a book of poetry, just a collection of my ramblings on a range of topics that happens to be written in rhyme.

I have always written rhymes for as far back as I can remember. I don't know why, but it just felt right. Writing in rhyme somehow helps me to clarify and order my thoughts, deal with difficult emotions, and occasionally entertain my friends and family.

I mostly write about things that impact my life or that hurt me, provoke a reaction from me, or sometimes just make me feel that life is truly a wondrous adventure with an ever-changing plot.

People tell me that some of the things I write about are common to a lot of people, but it was never my intention to comment on other people's lives. What I write is really just a series of personal thoughts about people, events, and feelings in my own life-if they strike a chord with you, then I am glad.
