I started writing poetry to honor my dead mother who loved poetry. Poetic verses grew inside my mind as I watered them with my own observations. By settling on writing only short poems I give time poor readers a chance to get a quick 'bite" of reality. This is why I call them 'fast poems'. In this time of global crisis our own emotions are exposed to great stress. My fast poems attempt to expose futile attempts to master stress but also to praise the brave ones.
