I enjoy writing poetry for a variety of reasons. Poetry is my way of keeping a journal, of keeping track of what is valuable and what denigrates those things of value, and of giving myself a creative outlet.

I share these poems with you in hopes that you, too, will find value in writing and publishing (making public) your writing. -- Paul Totah
