http://poietes.wordpress.com Welcome to my blog, where you will find entries on everything from writing, poems, politics, photography, my pepsi addiction, my dogs, my family, good books, and twizzlers--everything from the serious to the inane. I will caution that I am very liberal and more than a bit of a cynic. I love to receive comments of all kinds as they help to give me a good dose of reality now and then as I do tend to blather on and on just because I can, so I beg you to jump in, and let me know when I'm blathering. It will be good for me and might keep me from being so long winded. As always, there will be more later . . . Peace.
