Welcome to Poetical Journeys – This is the second total site revision. The original site was first published in 2001. The first revision or redesign occurred in 2019. The newest one occurred in 2024. It is simplified from the 250+ pages in the old one. You will continue to discover my latest poetry and photography, read an occasional vignette, receive a recommendation or two, learn about my twenty-nine books, and generally experience an upbeat feel.

My Poetry

While my previous site featured over a thousand poems, this site will showcase a smaller number, which will be updated regularly, typically weekly. The poems will often include photographs appropriate to the content.

(The most recent site update occurred on August 16, 2026.)

This poem is based on a true-life experience and was written over 20 years ago. I was returning from one of my annual visits to Hawaii. A fitting poem for this time of year.
