Online Copies Of Some Of My Better Unpublished Works

"Home ~ Not House" ; a new poem.

"Chain'd" ; a recent poem.

"Summer Letters Between Best Friends" ; those who know my unpublished work consider this to be my best unpublished poem, which has been threatened with publication a few times.
"In Memory", my second-favorite if not my second-best unpublished poem, just seven lines long.
"Whom?" , a funny, happy little two-stanza poem written for my first ex-wife when we first started dating.
"Sunday Night After The Sunday Afternoon Near The One Lane Bridge Over The Haw River In Three Parts". A short, three stanza James Dickey-ish poem.
"Naked In The Snow On A Mountainside". This is the one epic poem that I've written. Semi-autobiographical, based on a true incident in my life when I was an adolescent, with some minor facts changed to protect the guilty (Smile), it's a transposed account over top of a similitudent telling of a Native American youth's rememberance of his own journey of self-dicovery in a different time and place and mind-set with different but similar results. This is a long poem, please give yourself at least 15-20 minutes to read it all the way through; you can skim it quicker, but to actually read it takes at least that long.
"Noble Marriage; A Persimmon Story", about two trees who've woven the bark-thread fabric of their lives into mine.
"Healing Spring", a short sentimental poem.
"Great White Pearl". This poem was originally inspired by a short story that was written and spoken aloud at a poetry reading by a college friend, Tim Bowring of Richmond, Virginia, when I was attending college at Goddard College in Vermont with him in 1979. His story was so powerful to me that I asked his permission if I could write a similar, poetic version of what he had wrought, and he agreed. If powerful, disturbing images of violence and torture bother you even when in context of a larger metaphorical storyline, then please don't read this poem. In the past when I've read this aloud at poetry readings, people have walked out of the room rather than listen to it in its entirety, and have accosted me afterwards because of the verballu graphic images it presents. Read at your own risk.
"Home ~ At Last", The short epitaph-poem I wrote for my father, Harold H. Craig, on the day of his passing, April 3rd 2006.
"The Vestigial Heart, written for my wife Kris on the occasion of our first wedding anniversary.
