Read my best poems or look to the blue bar on the left. Most of these were originally written for the Daily Whale, my daily joke, epigram, or satirical tidbit. All are short; most are funny; all are formalist (no free verse, other than the odd parody), though some of the forms are alien to tradition.

Confusion is only natural,
although counterfactual,
thanks to your long experience
of comprehensive ignorance.

I also wrote a poetry program, Authorial Intent.
