What is the aim or goal of your writing: "Much hard work and study! Much writing and submitting of poetry!...Most of my poetry is in form and rhyme." 2nd ed. says, "I speak mostly on humorous poetry. People enjoy it and I have concentrated more on humor, with the result that I have had more humorous poems published than serious ones. I would classify most of my humor as satire dealing with life's incongruities and human foibles and frailties. Many of my poems have been called epigrammatic."
