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:
- Undeserved
- Conventional
- Fair
- Another Way
- Their Place
- Just Following Orders
- Games
- He Sleeps Well
- Ingrates
- Economics
- Promise of a Gift
- The Beach
- Playground
- Choking Off
- Luncheon
- The Wrong People
- Only Choice
- The Gift
- Unable to Express
- The Group
- Unworthy
- Moves On
- Open
- Unspoken Code
- Misunderstanding
- Carefully Cultivated
- The Request
- Raging Fever
- Angry All the Time
- Narrative
- Not Getting His Way
- Until
- Outward
- Atrophy
- Unalleviated
- Forgive or Forget
- No Other Reason
- We Really Do
- Day after Day
- Surrender
- Bills
- Inside the Lines
- Certain
- Crumpling
- Go Back
- Part Of
- Through the Penumbra
- Mess
- The Questions
- Barely
Much gratitude to all the marvelous people who have made my poetry book and this website a success. I appreciate you all. Cheers, Guy.
