About This Book
A note from the Author.
If you want to get technical about it, I’ve been working on this book for more than twenty years.
This is a small collection of poems I have written spanning from my teenage years way back when hot pink was really hot and black was what I wore before it was cool. Some of these poems are very badly written. Okay, a lot were badly written. Probably all of them were badly written. They’re cheesy, awkward, and could use a sledgehammer and a work over.
Most of these poems touch on fantasy and myth -- but a couple are born from my cultural heritage.
Usually I write science fiction, fantasy, and a splash of romance. If I do write poetry, the work has a very high chance of becoming lyrics to a song and getting tucked into a folder somewhere to be forgotten. Rarely am I moved to get completely poetic, so I hope you enjoy this collection. Even the badly-written parts.
Unrequited, Returned,
and Otherwise Sentimental Mush

Just about everyone has written about that love lost, or the person who never returned their affections, or just wanted to bemoan the cruel fate of natural selection. In that, the poems in this section are pretty typical – even the ones that used myth and fantasy to get the point across.
