My poetry seems to be written by a teenager -- who is in his 70's.  My poems wink, misbehave and are all about learning from mistakes.   They also chuckle, hanker and dream -- and of course, adore.  (Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary calls my poems "dances of self-discovery.")  I've also spent time founding and shaping Poetry X Hunger to rouse poets everywhere to the anti-hunger cause.  We've used those poems to raise more than 25,000 US dollars for organizations that are fighting hunger.  And the poems have been really effective in raising public awareness about childhood hunger; nearly 1 million YouTube viewers have watched a Feed the Children-produced public service announcement that incorporates a Poetry X Hunger poem.
