Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning.

I make it clear why I write as I do and why other poets write as they do. After hundreds of experiments I decided to go my own way in style and see what would happen.

I glory in this world of men and women, torn with troubles, yet living on to love and laugh through it all.

God, let me remember all good losers.
