Patrick M. Tracy--Writer

Poetry is a purgative, not a panacea.  It isn't there to make you feel better.  It's there to make you FEEL.  An active poet since the mid-nineties, I've written hundreds of pieces using a variety of styles.  Though I'm most frequently a free verse poet with modern delivery, I will use or create forms if the mood strikes.  My favorite poetic forms are Haikus, Haibuns, and Ghazals.  Unlike much of my fiction, I don't write my poetry with genre in mind.  Read on, if you want to see my style up close.
