Please allow me to start off folksy. I shall get around to all of the biography and other such matters of interest later on. Just now I wish to start by thanking some of the folks of tremendous talents and hearts as big as The Chesapeake Bay where we all live in this State of Maryland. So thanks first of all, Fernando 'The Wordpimp' Quijano III, Cynthia Gaver, Clarinda Harriss, Megg Magee, Alan Reese, Julie Fisher, Jessica Lynn Dotson, Marie Abate, and of course many, many others. Thank You All `n much Love to All of You. Though I have attended literary events off and on for many years it is the most recent four years that I have devoted myself to writing and reading and most of all listening. Poetry and short stories are my favorites and they were meant to heard aloud. Thank you for sharing yours and allowing me to share mine. In that spirit here are the first and a near first composition that I read aloud with the encouragement of you, my friends and fellow writers.
"AT TIMES, MY DOG VISITS"
At times, my dog visits
Where he has no home -
He shows his wide grin, sits in
Your favorite spot,
Looking for a friend, Perhaps
Also a brief rub or scratching -
He will not stay long,
Or, if he lingers,
He knows to go
When sent away...,
Except for me
He is quite
Alone.

"LOVE IS SOME-THINGS, MUCH"
I say,
"Me, I've got nothing much to have,"
Yet my some-things are always here to share,
In life I'll not get far it seems.
I've only my love to offer,
Troubles, if you want the bother.
I say,
"Me, I've got a lot to share."
