What is the aim or goal of your writing:
"Nothing but satisfaction-now. My voice was a small one. I belong to Ohio Verse Writers."
2nd edition says, "A poet can still 'go round the world by the old Marlborough Road.' (Thoreau)" "As I grow older, my poetry grows less lyric. The light touch disappears. Satire appears instead. Nevertheless, life with all its wonders continues to fascinate me. My work has gone from the pastoral to portraiture as is seen in my Chap Book published in 1977."
