He also draws and paints, and has written some comedy material as well. His poetry exhibits a fresh take on the form, and features a few different styles; both rhyming and free verse, many beautiful turns of phrase, passionate emotion, inspiring meditations on life’s ups and downs, and a few humorous pieces as well about his travails with women.
