Some of you who know me have read a bit of my poetry. I embrace a few different styles and rhythms, liking the creative freedom of free verse and the game of wordplay induced when I color between the lines of meter.

Hey all! I took a hiatus from Tribe for a while. Well, I checked my messages and such.
