TO POSE

I have never posed as a poet, because I have always shied away from people who call themselves poets.

FRIENDSHIP (2)

A good poem is to me like a good friend: it helps you gain insight. Sometimes that insight hurts, sometimes it comforts, sometimes it makes you laugh, and sometimes it gives you the courage to go on.

Philip Huff




I want to reach everybody with my poetry. Poetry doesn't know friend or foe.
