I am Dave Garlick, and I am no more.

This website is a collection of my work. They are special words crafted to make you think, to wonder about life's journey, to laugh, and to help you live life to the fullest.

I told my children that poems are not just a collection of clever words but the inner heart of the poet. When you read a poem, do not read it like a book, or you will destroy the work. Imagine sipping the words and savoring the essence of them, just like you would a fine bottle of wine. Don't read my poems as if you are gulping down cheep plonk to get drunk. You will regret it in the morning.

So onwards, you must go.

Wade into an ocean of words. If you feel yourself drowning, take a break.

The shore is only a click away...
