Highway Sign
A roadside warning becomes a mirror for youth: risk, bravado, and the thin line between survival and legend. “Highway Sign” watches a familiar symbol of danger shift its meaning, tracing how boys inherit the night and the choices that mark them long after the sign stops warning.
Sand Wedge
This poem captures a personal moment of camaraderie and the innocence of my growing up—a subtlety and depth juxtaposing the almost magical skill of a young golfer with the gentle humor of a father’s endearing misunderstanding, all within the familiar setting of our hometown golf course.
The Old Guard
A nostalgic, free verse poem that looks at my childhood memories of majestic pines that towered over our local golf course. The poem, heavy with imagery, uses personification as a rhetorical device, in which an idea or thing is given human attributes and/or feelings or is spoken of as if it were human.
The Shoe Shine Man
Reflecting on the power of human touch, this quotidian poem is a tribute to the lost art of shoe shining, small talk, and thus, a nod to the trades.
