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.

| Kindly ignore my harsh rapport, I've taken more than I can bear, I write, hoping to close the door. Made to sleep on a marble floor Best I did was shiver and swear, Kindly ignore my harsh rapport. I took advantage of the poor, Received a healthy sailor's share, I write, hoping to close the door. Temptation, like a dancing whore, Mesmerized by her seductive stare, Kindly ignore my harsh rapport. Intoxicated, wanting more, Emboldened by a brief affair, I write, hoping to close the door. My regrets seep from every pore, But poetry can't clear the air, Kindly ignore my harsh rapport, I write, hoping to close the door. Villanelle: The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the last lines of the succeeding stanzas; then in the final stanza, the refrain serves as the poem's two concluding lines.
