About This Author
 Writing poetry allows me to exercise my imagination and share it with others. I strive to write for the benefit of the reader using carnival fun mirror images of my life's experiences.

Amidst the ancients, a soldier's out of place, History's hidden world in his face. Turning stone to weathered clay, From home, long astray. Despair makes prey like vile snakes, To feast on the day. Joy, a universe away, When lost lovers did briefly embrace, Amidst the ancients, a soldier's out of place. Andaree: A rhyming syllabic form with an 11 syllable line and descends by 2 syllables in each line until it reaches 1 syllable and then it ascends back to 11 syllables, which is a repeat of the first line. The rhyme scheme is AabbcbcbbaA. Winner of the Writer's Cramp contest Jan 11, 2017 Honorable Mention "Poetic Traditions Poetry Contest Round 47
