Welcome to Poems & Other Songs! As a lifelong singer-songwriter, 15-time Ironman finisher, and 28-time marathoner, I pour endurance and heart into every lyric. My poems and songs are simple, yet rich with stories. I hope you find something that moves you.

This poem is about life and the idea that it's sometimes like being swept up by something larger than yourself, forced to climb “treacherous mountains” and tumble down “rolling hills.
Resistance doesn’t stop the motion, you just have to ride it out.

“Old Love” is a poem I wrote about a yearning for something genuine, enduring, and rooted in the heart.
Simple yet deeply felt, a reminder that true love doesn’t fade,it deepens with time.

There’s something special about early fall, the crisp mornings, the scent of damp leaves gathering on the grass, and the shorter days that hint at the quiet months of semi-hibernation ahead. I guess it’s time to rummage through the mudroom closet for my running gloves… well, maybe not just yet!
I’ve carried this sense always, that life continues when breath ends. No proof, no cause, just a whisper in my mind. Perhaps I’m the kind of dreamer who trusts something waits just over the hill or around the bend. This poem is about that idea. #poems #poetry #WritingCommunity

So my poems rhyme, most of the time, and that's because a lot of my poems become songs. However, this one did not but, it's still one of my favourites. On a cold Ontario morning, I was staring out a window at a typical December gale, and this is what I thought.

Yup, it's been a while. I had to take some time off for cataract surgery. Now that I can see my hands in front of my face again, I'm working on some spoken word and other cool things that I should have ready in a few weeks. For now, hope this resonates. #poetry #poems #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers
The past sometimes feels like it's stuffed with things I hold onto just in case. I wrote Living in the Past to remind myself that while memories have their place, life is always moving forward.

Here’s a carol I wrote some years ago, inspired by the hope and spirit of Christmas that this special season brings to us all.
Please share with family & Friends

Feel like belting out a Christmas carol with a karaoke back track? It's festive, fun, & perfectly fine - no judgment here! Even Bing needed a band. Stay tuned, though. I’ll be sharing an original carol before Christmas. Singing this one for fun.

I’ll be sharing some of my favourite poems and songs here, along with tracks, videos, and links. One standout project was a piece of NHL history I had the pleasure to write, sing, and produce for the Calgary Flames during their thrilling 1988/99 Stanley Cup run.
