Hey!

Purpose: My poetry website and high-tech startup blog contains all original content written by me (yes, even the poems). You can use poetry techniques to improve your writing and presentations in today’s world where concise, clean, clear, elegant writing is hard to find. I write poems (in form) about cool people and I report on startups that I find interesting.

My first video poem (a sonnet)  is about Shane T. Nesbitt, Founder and CEO of the San Mateo Zoo and Headshots Barbershop, who is pictured below with one of his many clients.  Shane is an entrepreneur in the truest sense, albeit a tattooed one, and runs two very successful businesses.

Target Audience: supernerds, techheads, blooming entrepreneurs and teenagers. (A “supernerd” is a nerd with an IQ over 150…..wow!!!)

Twist and Tools: Today’s writing needs to be concise, clear, elegant, as well as being entertaining-like poetry. Poetry ( the mathematics of literature) techniques can add spice to your otherwise mundane writing: text, email, Power Point presentations and college essays. Poetry will teach you how to write con brio—entertain your audience and make your points memorable thorough the use of fresh metaphors and similes.

Website/Blog Revenue Model: In order to maintain a clean, minimalist look, there are no ads or blog rolls. However it takes money to build, maintain and run a website/blog so I’ve included a PayPal Donate Button to help with some of the expenses and pay for more video poems. So skip your designer coffee and pastry for one day-you’ll lose weight. Donate instead.

Shane, owner of the San Mateo Zoo & Headshots barbershops.
