Poetry

He describes himself as a poet in this way, "I create poetry under the pseudonym of The Refined Poet due to the style of my writings. I do not write from a place of angst, frustration, or inner turmoil. My poetry comes from biblical, thoughtful introspection and consideration of various topics while respecting the many forms of the poetic genre."
