'poetrandy' has written poems for fifty years, but got serious about it in the last year, writing hundreds of poems, of many different forms. He reads his poetry every Wednesday in Tehachapi at Mama Hillibeans Coffee Shop: http://www.mamahillybeans.com He has also read his poetry at Rancho Mirage, Bakersfield, CA and on a Royal Caribbean Mexico cruise. His poetry has been published in the Bear Valley Springs "Cub" and is available on numerous Web pages and blogs. If you go to Google and type in "poetrandy" and you will find hundreds of links to his poetry! 'poetrandy' is now working on his next poetry collection. 'poetrandy' has just finished his first chapbook entitled Bear’s Lair, now available to purchase or read (at no cost) at: http://www.bookemon.com/book_profile.php?book_id=4572.
The railroad background on my page fits my home town, a major railroad hub for east / west freight traffic! Ever hear of the Tehachapi loop? It's right here!
To preview some of my tastes in poetry, compare these two:
(1) "Fog" by Carl Sandburg
THE FOG comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches
and then moves on.
(2) "Silence is an Owl" by poetrandy
