I'm the author of Friday's Poem, a weekly poetry mailout distributed to over 200 people across the globe since October 2004. The poems are meant to be a bridge between the work week and the weekend. They provide a discipline for me, and hopefully, a source of enjoyment for readers. You can subscribe to Friday's Poem here.
