Behind the Poem: Game Theory

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge.

Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its… Continue

Behind the Poem: Spiritual Irony

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History… Continue

Poem: Dust (Humor)

Those disembodied remnants,

Earthly remains of unknown souls,

are now assembled at my doorstep.

Having piqued my attention,

who are these unwelcome houseguests?

Loved ones or Nordic heroes

who were consumed in funeral pyres?

How old are these molecules

that have been forever scattered

during these past centuries?

eaten by microscopic mites,

nibble at my presence

and wait for my spirit to dry… Continue
