Pardon, Master, I will be correspondent to command And do my spiriting gently ~ Homer’s Ariel, in The Tempest”

A Pacific Northwest poet

A scriber of haunting confessional poetry, whimsies, political irony and a recorder of nature.

I am currently doing 2024’s poetry challenges of NaPoWriMo (Poetry Writing Month) and April’s Poem A Day (Writer Digest’s). I post these poem drafts to my blog.
