The fact that the smallest literary form—haiku—has the most rules never ceases to amaze and astound.” - Jane Reichhold

Where I Write

Despite my nearly half-century of writing experience, I remain a humble student of poetry, as the pursuit of excellence never truly ends. There's always more to learn and new ways to improve; interacting with like-minded individuals only accelerates and refines this process. As such, I've made myself accessible on various social media platforms.

In my Substack publication, Cutting Word, I share my ongoing poetic journey, delving into discoveries and educational insights. Substack's in-depth format allows me to provide comprehensive content that you won't find elsewhere.

I'm also active on X, where I often post poetry and other engaging content.

I appreciate your interest and hope you'll join me on this poetic adventure!
