I write these days a cacophony of genres: fantasy, sci-fi, mainstream, literary, some poetry every now and then. Novels, short stories, novellas, and whatever might fall in-between. I joined ABC Tales in May of 2014, and appreciate the forum it gives me to write and experiment, and even to include my strange little illustrations next to my work.
You won't see a lot of my stories published anywhere else just yet, but please check out a few of these sites:

Nice, well written. Getting the rhythm and rhyme to come together naturally, and with a point to make, without sounding at all forced is not an easy task.

Ooh, perfect. So much to like in here, just this great collection of perfect little mini-descriptions of life. An excellent of "jingle of words" indeed.

soft, charmed; the sort length works with the simplicity to make this poem stand out as something 'extra.' Very nice.

Cute, funny, topical. Great poem. Casting my vote for the Orang-utans too. And rainforests. And continued life on Earth and so forth....

Nice portrait. The character
Posted on Sat, 16 Sep 2017
Nice portrait. The character comes alive in a poem that feels as if it's about more than it says 'out loud'.
