Throughout my adolescence, poetry was my main outlet for creative expression. That said, herein you'll find poems from my junior high through college years, divided into the following chronologically ordered sections:

• Introduction. "Like Oceans, Never-Ending."
• Early Poems. Ninth and 10th grade creativity.
• The Whim at Full Tide. Junior year hijinx ('85-'86).
• The Interregnum. Senior year writer's block.
• Trellim Alonzoid's Bag of Tricks (Creative Writing Anthology). The blockbuster.
• The Chamber Pot at the End of the Rainbow. Post-graduation disillusionment.
• The Comeback (A Year to Forget). Collegiate misanthropy.
• I Know a Girl.... A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
