Poet in Our Midst

The MUSE dwells in the subconscious accumulating and

processing all experience. The MUSE plays the role of

creator of much art, music and poetry. When the conscious

mind is open, the MUSE gushes to the surface exposing its

creation often without special effort by the writer.

Many of the poems in “Poet in our Midst” came about in

this manner. The poems were infl uenced by a variety of

experiences amongst family, friends, acquaintances or events.

They are humorous, romantic, philosophical and political

expressions that are part of my life. The writing of these

poems has been a journey that I wish to share with you, the

reader. I trust while reading them you will be entertained,

enlightened and inspired. Thank you for peering into my

inner-sanctum, I urge you to peer into your own.
