I have almost 2,000 poems that have been critiqued by so many people and friends, poets and authors, readers and appreciators. I hope that all of you, who choose to read, can appreciate my work as well. I love to write and share my feelings at that moment, or share the dreams I have. I have recently published a book of a bit more than 70 poems and am proud to list it here: https://www.createspace.com/3682057

I've received Crystal awards, monetary prizes and a status of Poet Laureate as well as gold coins of recognition from various poetry sites, as judged by my peers.

I am a 9-11 survivor that has a beautiful wife and 4 wonderful children. I recently became a licensed stock broker, whew, what a hard test.
