Hi, My name is Jack Tomkovick. I write "Real poems for real people." I'm a 62 year old retired High School social studies teacher from Chapel Hill, N.C. Here are 30 selected poems, from 1975 to 2013, chronicling America, the world, and my commentary on life, love, justice, and religion. There is a Kent State poem here, an Elvis poem, and Iraq War poem called "Less Dead", a baseball poem about a runner going from first to third, a God poem, an Arab-Israeli poem, and more than one love poem, including one comparing love to a grilled cheese sandwich. There is a cancer poem about my brother's death. There is a poem about men and women called Essential Differences. Finally, there is a Travon Martin poem, a 9/11 poem, and a wicked cigarette poem called, Marlboro Men. If that doesn't get your attention just a little bit, then I'm not the writer I think I am. Enjoy!
