phanaerozoic

Since I now have poems and/or bits of poems scattered around on a number of sites on the web, I decided to gather the links and post them here to them all in one place. (Note that web links often have really short lives, so if you want to have a record of your poetry as published on-line, you might want to try saving the web page to your computer. This can be done in either html form or if you have Adobe Acrobat, you can often save a nice version in pdf form.) I also have several blog entries here on phanaerozoic devoted to poems, so be sure and look them up as well. Just click the tag “Poetry” under “Categories” to see all my blog entries that include poems.

These are roughly in chronological order of posting to the web, and at the time of this posting to phanaerozoic, all are active links:

At my personal web site, windsofkansas.com, there is a page that links to a number of poems: http://www.windsofkansas.com/poems.html
