I tend to get into spiritual things of late. I enjoy poems that help us learn about life. Our trials and tests and what makes the human spirit learn and grow from them. I like to write about people, and places, and I also like to make it funny sometimes. I like to be creative. I'll write about anything that interests me. I have gone through many tests in life, lost many people, traveled far from home, found some things I was looking for, and still have a long ways to go.
But I am learning as I go.
I was married (Nov 2002) and originally from Upper Michigan. I came to the state of Washington August 2002, far from the place I grew and knew. I lived in Washington until 4 days ago when my wife told me she didn't love me anymore. We are living with her parents....and it is time for me to go back to Michigan. The stress is very hard on me. I just need to be back among family and friends in michigan. I need emotional support. I never thought this would happen. I gave my best. But her expectations were too high. Or she's going through a mid-life crisis in search of herself. I am now back in Upper Michigan...among friends and family.

I've moved back to my hometown of Escanaba and I'm taking things one step at a time. Family and friends are happy I am back, and I am feeling very good at this time to be back and have such a great place to live(I moved out of my brother's place). I have moved into a tall building and living on the 15th floor. It's overlooking the water and is Heavenly. I am enjoying life again, and the journey. I will follow my spirit where the Angels guide me.

The journey continues as I go. And as I go....I write more poetry about the life that surrounds me.

I love music of all kinds. From Celtic to early British, Australian to Country USA, African to Folk, Pop and Rock to Oldies. I am a genealogist and have researched my French Canadian heritage back to France. I help others doing their family trees in the same place.


I write poems that rhyme. I enjoy that style and it is fun to see how it will come out in the end.

Some of may favorite TV shows are: Smallville, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Lost, Survivor, Everybody Loves Raymond, Scrubs, Star Trek, Heroes, Monk, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, Survivor, American Idol, and many others I'll tune into.

I love reading Dean Koontz, as his style and characters are so well done. I love Tolkein and Fantasy books. A Quest with a lot of magical rings and swords and Wizards and elves and dwarves just takes me to another world.
But I also love the magic of the real spiritual magic that each of us have inside of us. To rise above the common things and feel, and love, and grow.
I am enjoying taking pictures of the beauty shown to us through Mother Earth.

Thank you each for coming to read my poems. I hope you like them.
