"Poetry is Medicine" - Jo

"And Fun is Medicine, too! " - Bernie


This website has two main parts: One part is for fun, it is word play and puns, mainly about the adventures of a backwoods tribe of bears: The Bear Files

The second part of this website is much more serious, it is poetry that developed out of my own struggle with severe and for many years debilitating post-traumatic stress disease. Please be responsible and do not read this if you're easily triggered, or if you are not in a good place personally. Some of it is quite graphic and and I know from own personal experience how certain bits of news can stress me out. I do have a brief description of my own story at the head of the first page: Trauma Poetry
