I’m poet Guy Farmer and I write short poems that are unique and different.
I had a wonderful reader from Los Angeles share that my poetry is, “Like nothing else I’ve read, a singular mix of brevity and depth.”
Using a minimalist framework, my poetry examines the human condition, from it’s most enlightened to disheartening. My poems are enjoyed by discerning readers who love concise poetry that doesn’t spell everything out.
Here are some examples of my unique, different, short poems:
