I have been an active writer of short stories and poems for many years.  Lately time prevents me from having the opportunity to add new materials to my volumes of writing.   I prefer to write short, dark stories and poems.   Since I rarely get mad in public or vent my true feelings, anger tends to pervade most things I write.  I cuss frequently and write things I could never say to people for fear of what they might think.  I place a tremendous value upon my private life and thus will never publish much of what I write.  The following poems are indicative of what I write and appear in their original form.
