I’m poet Guy Farmer and I write minimalist compassion poems.
I had a reader in Portland comment that my poems are, “A clear beacon shining its light of kindness and caring against injustice.”
I write poems about compassion, and the lack of it, because I feel deeply that we can all build a better world together when we remember how intimately interlinked we are.
My poems are enjoyed by compassionate, caring, thoughtful people all over the world.
Here are some of my compassion poems:
