Location Hollywood, Florida, United States
Introduction After nearly 50 years as a newspaper reporter and editor I retired from daily journalism and became the editor of a Florida magazine for several years until it went bust. Now I have returned full-time to my first love, poetry, and have developed a unique new style of verse which I call "Rhyme on Rhyme on Rhyme." I have written nearly 1,000 verses on a wide range of topics and average about five new pieces a week. Comments are welcomed, especially from fellow bloggers.
