where fancy led: A Collection of Poems

"where fancy led" is a collection of poetry with roots in the rolling hills of West Virginia. It blooms and blossoms from my travels and imagination. Writing has been a lifelong pursuit and poetry my literary love. I don't know what you will think or feel as you read; what is important is that you feel! The beauty of poetry is the wide range of emotions one feels while reading a poem. I have delighted in many moments caught up in wordplay and hope that you share the magical flights with fancy while reading my poems.
