I am an American poet specializing in writing haiku, senryu, and tanka. My poetry explores the complexities of human feeling and our relationship with the natural world. Drawing inspiration from moments of self-awareness, I hope to help others navigate their own introspective journeys. As a poet, my goal is to encourage others to take a moment to reflect on the world as it truly is. I believe in the necessity of acknowledging oneself while keeping aware of our surroundings. Poetry, for me, is the art of living, feeling, and expressing. Through my work, I hope to encourage people to find clarity and connection in their own self-awareness moments, ultimately leading to a greater appreciation for life’s beauty and complexity.
