Greg Schroeder

I have been writing since I learned how but only published my first collection of poems in 2012. Other published works include a long string of newspaper articles on youth soccer (club updates in the local paper), some historical articles on an online website now defunct, and three peer-reviewed scientific research papers from way back when I did primary research. There have been a few career changes - researcher, teacher, operations specialist, bookseller, and (currently) medical IT. There are also three fantastic children which give an entirely different perspective to life. I enjoy history, games, being outside, and quiet times.

Castaway

Rising and falling on the gentle swell,

Heavy bits of seaweed and salt smell.

The raft cool and damp in the pre-dawn

Ghosting along over
