Thanks for visiting and reading some of my poetry (should you choose to).

As for me, I'm a 45 year old man living in Indiana, USA (for the last 14 years anyway). Grew up in Missouri and lived 15 years in California before moving here.

I've been married to my lovely wife for 24 years and we have 4 kids (2 girls and 2 boys) ranging from 15 to 22 years old.

While in college I wrote poems and short stories, but had stopped writing some 20 years ago as life got busier. I started again almost 2 years ago, encouraged by my wife wishing she had her poet back.

I truly enjoy writing and look forward to opportunities to do so each week. I hope you find something here that touches you or makes you laugh or makes you smile.

Thanks,

Rick

Given the hour or maybe the growing ache
associated with drawing breath, she could feel

Well Remembered (Their Fabled Love)

She recalled each detail complete;
feelings fresh as the day they met,

our silence

the roar of the freeway in the distance
here and there our squirrel neighbors chatter
