The Angel On The Pole (This isn't about what it looks like it's about. Read closely. Very few people got it.) Added on 6/30/01
Reflections on Romantic Error (I was thinking about why my love life tends to be so fucked. So, I wrote this.) Added on 6/30/01
Dancing On Words (A woman I loved hurt me one day by not treating me like a friend, though we'd been through so much together. It was more a breach of etiquette than anything else, in retrospect.) Added on 6/30/01

Asthmatic or Poet (This is about an annoying habit that a lot of the Slam community seems to have, and they think that it makes them better performers.) Added on 10/4/03
My Wife Tells Me (The other day, my wife told me something along the lines of, "I think that you're a mediocre poet". That's not an exact quote, it's paraphrasing, and I was really hurt by it, and then I thought about it and wrote this poem.) Added on 10/4/03
Travails of a Happy Poet (I wrote this after I realized how much my life has changed since I took up poetry, and how I really feel about life right now... during this snapshot.) Added on 10/4/03

This section will be updated weekly (and sometimes moreso, so please check back if you like my shit :)
I've been writing since I was about 12, but I've been performing a lot at Da Poetry Lounge and a couple of other Venues over the last couple of months.
If you live in the Los Angeles area, you can go to Da Poetry Lounge on Tuesday Nights from 9:00 - Midnight at:
The Greenway Court Theater
544 N. Fairfax Ave. (1 block South of Melrose)
If you need directions, go to Mapquest.
It's a free to get in. Damn, they should be paying me to promote them. But, Poetri, Dante, Gimel, and Shihan run a truly great venue so they deserve the extra help. Get there before 9:30 p.m. if you want to read. Make sure your shit's five minutes or less long. Mad Poets are up in here :).
