Whether or not it's poetry is a question that has been asked about poetry ever since Homer recited history in Greek auditoriums. It doesn't always rhyme and its meter can be haphazard. What makes something poetry? That may be too pretensious for the bits I offer here.

As to fonts, who knows what fonts I used on the page. Browsers don't guarantee that you see the font the author used. See, this internet stuff is just not as good as real printing.

You can click on the button above to run through the poems in serial succession. There's a next-poem button near the bottom of each page. Or, browse from among the selections shown to the right.
