I started writing poetry several yrs ago. Sonnets are a favorite. Metrical poetry is preferred though I enjoy free verse, too.
Writing for children is quite fun, as well.
Within
the solid steel -
a giant, thumping heart.
This sturdy Brooklyn overpass
...
Let us picnic together in Strawberry Fields
my delightful, melodious girl;
let us sit in the shade
sipping pink lemonade
...
Hard work
pays off at noon;
her silky net ensnares
two twitching flies with zesty vibes.

he's never owned a horse or roped a steer;
I hear his Northern schooling came for free;
his down home twang’s a counterfeit. It’s clear
...
Come, gentle creatures, assemble as one -
Loosen your leashes and joyfully run
...
