Welcome to Sparkwarden Poetry. My name is Gary D. Smith, a poet, blogger and retired IT developer. Welcome to my poetry community!

Besides this new [Skool.com](http://Skool.com) community, I also maintain two [Wordpress.com](http://Wordpress.com) sites devoted to poetry.

I’m an avid reader of speculative fiction, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, and poetry.

I invite you to browse and read my content. Feel free to like and friendly, constructive comments. I encourage questions about poetry and my approach to writing.

Thanks!
