The Tragic Sip is where I explain my words to you. Here I post my poetry and prose segments and let you know what was going on in my mind upon writing. My poems run from the humorous to the philosophical from rhymes to free verse. And I love my senryu and tanka but I give them titles … so there. Sometimes I even have opinions.
