Roses are red.

                                                                

Violets are blue

                                                                                  

What am I? 

                           

And whooooooo are you? 

                                                               

Following are links to a quick, bright poem and a long dark poem for your reading and thinking pleasure — ——– 

WHAT I AM
. . . (A quick, light poem by Hal Alpiar)

A DELAWARE SAILOR’S TALE OF WARNING
. . . (A long, dark poem by Hal Alpiar)

     You want to read something short and sweet that’s not a poem?  And you’re a writer, or always thought you wanted to be a writer? 

     Try this! 

WRITING AIN’T NO QUICKIE CLOSET PROJECT!
. . . (An essay of lament by Hal Alpiar)

     It’s an especially good read in a slow, tall publishing house elevator, or while waiting for a literary agent response to your book idea, or a drawbridge to open or close, or a freight train to cross your path . . .  or to help occupy your mind in healthcare office waits, which will typically afford you enough time to write a book. 

  When you prefer something a little more substantial than a poem, a little more interesting than a sad writer’s tale, go back to the top of this page and click on the tabs for SHORT STORIES and MAGAZINE ARTICLES  . . . print a couple out and stick them in your pocket, purse, briefcase or backpack to read and consider when all else fails! 

     Stay tuned!  Re-visit!
