Richmond, The Fount of our Beloved Commonwealth
About Richmond
The Capital City,
Of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
The Foundation on which the state is built,
The James River,
Always full of silt,
The history set deep within,
The Capital Square,
I always walk,
See the huge pediments,
Made of chalk,
Broad Street,
All through the night,
It keeps up a good beat,
Trains on the trestle,
Downtown busy,
People, cars, busses,
Alot of noise,
No one fusses,
This is a city,
Steeped in history,
There is normally no mystery,
As to the beauty of this city,
At night,
Seems pretty,
This is Richmond,
The capital,
The fount of our Commonwealth.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
