Michael's Poetry takes us on a journey beyond the use of set meters. He leads us to open windows of improvisational rhythms to explore our feelings. His poems are a heartbeat which compels us to want to speak the words off the page; to be seen, felt and heard. His jazzy beats inspire us the readers to create our own rhythm. The messages in his poems are social, empathetic-playful-witty, love filled, universal and community connected. Michael's poetry is a Baobab tree for our creative spirit filled with fruits, water and an umbrella and canopy of knowledge.
