Poetic License: Poetry, Short Stories and Essays

This book contains prose and poetry that covers about 25 years of my life - from 1990 through 2012. At least one of the poems was begun when I was 16 and completed after age 40 (With a Goat for a Horse). The prose includes essays written for college and to explain my views on several 'hot topic' subjects that pushed my buttons at the time. Warning - read with whatever grain of salt you are using to spice up your life. This book is not for everyone and may insult some. No apologies offered. Take it as it is and may your path always be clear to gain a clear understanding of yourself.
