These are some of my poems, many of which are inspired by my love of mountains and rivers,in Appalachia specifically. I hope to receive meaningful criticism. All of these poems still need revision. Suggestions are valued!

Purgatorio
Faith and doubt
Have left me blind,
For when I have one
The other will mind.
Faith and doubt
Have left me bound,
For some knots loosen
As others grow sound.
Faith and doubt
Have left me deaf:
Their devotees shout
With every breath.
Faith and doubt
Have left me mute,
Reluctant to choose
In a circular dispute.
Faith and doubt
Have left me dumb.
When taken together,
They yield zero sum.
Faith and doubt.
My guts says neither
Is worthy of trust.
Skeptic? Believer?
