Children's Writer by day, Superhero by night!

It is here you will find many poems I've written over the years. I will be adding to this collection as I write them. If you really liked any of my poems, let me know in the comments at the bottom of the page or send me a message through the contact tab.

Below is the first poem written about Meretrick the Worm, the star of this website. I think he will probably be squirming his way into many stories and poems that I write in the future! The rest of my poems can be found if you hover over the "Poem" tab and click on a category!
Meretrick the Worm
The suspicious, meretricious, inauspicious, Red Delicious,
Looked absolutely edible and even quite nutritious.
You'd think that you could pick it up and have yourself a bite,
But don't let it deceive you, 'cause there's something just not right.
You see, my friend, its inner parts have something rather wrong,
Yes, deep inside, their live some things that truly don't belong.
Two worker ants, three apple flies, will really make you squirm,
But not as much as Meretrick, the apple eating worm.
