Welcome to Seaglass

Seaglass is my online poetry notebook. Any subject goes here (imagery, journaling, political stuff, and more) and most of the poems are written in a few minutes at most while walking or commuting.

In May 2026 I filtered Seaglass down from over 1000 poems to less than 500. For a time capsule of all the poems before that filter, check out Yardang.

Poems are ordered by date from bottom to top. Poems written on the same date are ordered alphabetically from bottom to top. Some poems have titles formatted like this; the others are listed with their first line. Some poems have comments, which are shown after the poem itself.

Seaglass is generated using a Perl script and a few templates I wrote. You can find them in the source code.
