Okay, I am a closet poet and I have been for many years. I do not publish my poems because I do not claim to be a poet, but I'm hooked. I have published a few on this web site and I may publish more as time goes by. But in the mean time, I would like to share the titles of my poems with you in this listing, or table of contents. These are eclectic poems as they cover a range of topics and issues in that some contain humor and some are deadly serious. Please cut me some slack and indulge me for my love of country and those who have served her so well, for my love of living, and for my Nordic heritage.
