I’m poet Guy Farmer and I write pithy poetry about the human condition.
I had a reader in Seattle email me saying that, “Your poems are outwardly brief but inwardly rich with meaning.”
I try to write in a way that says more with less. My poems are loved by people who enjoy minimalist poetry and who don’t want to be spoon fed all the answers or meaning of the work.
Here are some examples of my pithy poetry:
- Dismissive
- Honest Deal
- Nonchalantly
- Talking Head
- Dream
- Juveniles
- The Free Market
- Relief
- Hurt
- Yard
- Inside
- Courage
- Same Thing
- Wounded
- Disheartenment
- Missing
- Skewer
- No Use Arguing
- Unhelpful
- Change Settles In
- Interplay
- Upstanding
- Steal
- Self-Reliance
- Feeding the Beast
- Five Penguins
- Abandon
- Subdue
- So I May
- Smoke and Water
- Welfare
- Takeover
- Repeatedly
- If One
- I Never Thought
- Tremors
- Suffocated
- Entirely Unwelcome
- Shared Second
- Posture
- Across the Office
- Rupture
- Looked
- Hello
- Redirect
- After the Heart Attack
- He Was Asked
- Preserving
- Destructor
- Rationality
Much gratitude to all the marvelous people who have made my poetry book and this website a success. I appreciate you all. Cheers, Guy.
