Original poetry by Michael Pendragon presented in video format with artwork and music (courtesy of Suno AI); and an occasional music video by one of my favorite singers (pop standards).

Michael Pendragon (born October 23, 1963) is an American writer, poet, editor, and publisher. He was born in the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey (birthplace of the legendary Jersey Devil).  He is best known for having published a pair of literary magazines: Penny Dreadful and Songs of Innocence & Experience (1996-2005).  
His poetry is often rhymed/metered and employs such devices as internal rhyme, alliteration and onomatopoeia. Death, loss, disillusionment, and decay are the primary themes of his earlier work, while his later work mixes these themes with those of love, nature, and the art of poetry itself.  He considers himself to be a Romantic poet in the Byronic tradition, focusing on the individual human spirit and its place in a godless universe.
