Poetry:

I will admit that I haven't written poetry for many years. It was an area that I delved into in my 20's, but abandoned as I grew older. The final poem that I wrote was to be a eulogy for my Uncle Carl - and is dedicated to Uncle Carl. I hung up my "poetry pencil" after that, but it is fun to re-read and ponder the angst of my youth. Cheers!
