Creative Work

I enjoy cooking, walking, reading, studying Jewish texts, playing guitar, and occasionally writing poetry and songs. 

I have written poetry, songs, and an occasional short story since the age of 15 about humorous, political, natural, romantic, serious, and spiritual topics.  Most of these volumes have never been seen by the general public outside my circle of friends and family. I have written much less in the past 7 years, but sometimes I will reach what I consider what I consider a sufficient amount of work for example 20- 50 pieces. Then, I curate the pieces and self-publish another collection.

Please note that the volume called “5/8th Of Everything I’ve Written” was the basis for the first official volume “Ho,Ho.”, said the Platypus” and Other Snappy Titles. I have one of the few printed copies in existence, written around 1994 on a Brother word processor. It was grueling work. Be sure to read the informative and amusing liner notes and introductory pages before the poems in each volume. While you might learn something, I take no responsibility if you do.

I have listed the order in which I originally published the volumes to my best recollection, complete with errors and pictures.

Please do not read my work in an unclean place such as a bathroom or animal stall due to the spiritual nature and references to G-d in some of the work therein.
