Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led the nation through one of its most challenging periods in history—the American Civil War. Born in a humble log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Lincoln's journey from a self-educated lawyer to the leader of a divided nation is a testament to his determination, intellect, and moral compass. Lincoln's unwavering commitment to preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, and promoting equality left an enduring legacy that continues to shape the United States to this day.

I started writing poetry in about 2004. I never really thought of myself as a poet, but I received a lot of positive feedback for the stuff I wrote, so I continued writing and publishing it. So, this is pretty much all my poetry and haiku with a few haibun thrown in here and there from about 2004-2021. I'm a big fan of Charles Bukowski, so if you like his work you'll probably like some of mine as well. Enjoy!
