Read my best poems or look to the blue bar on the left. Most of these were originally written for the Daily Whale, my daily joke, epigram, or satirical tidbit. All are short; most are funny; all are formalist (no free verse, other than the odd parody), though some of the forms are alien to tradition.

The Moon Camp

Green cheese is all my ploy,
Green cheese my farthest flight.
Green cheese is my artful goal,
What but my wheel of green cheese.

The Mars Camp

Green cheese is your decoy,
Green cheese in my despite.
Green cheese is a lump of coal,
Away with the word of green cheese.

I also wrote a poetry program, Authorial Intent.
