Self published poet. 41 titles, 13 in ebook format. Political science and satire Consistent with his identity as a “warrior,” Rick does not simply rail against generalities. From top social media and tech companies (and their CEOs), to orange-haired Presidents of the United States, to politicians from his native Canada, and even to his homeland’s most famous coffee and donuts purveyor, he names names. Yet, as a “poet warrior,” he wields words—albeit razor-sharp as sword. His vocabulary is sometimes salty, and always colorful. The copyright page of each volume finishes with the kindly greeting, “Peace be with you.” Perhaps an unlikely greeting for a warrior—though RickthePoetWarrior is after all a poet, a thus an ultimately peaceful warrior. (And lest one be tempted to classify him as simply a wild-eyed political radical, recall his other works, including his collection of poems about flatulence). “Despite my sarcastic and cynical attitude, I love people, and that is my motivation for writing, “ says the poet. “That, and the thought that I might actually make them think about something besides themselves.” RickthePoetWarrior doesn’t reserve all his barbs for the soft bellies of others—he’s prone to frequently turn the sword inward with self-deprecating humor. Of his audience he says, “they should be able to laugh at themselves, because that’s who I’m making fun of most of the time—us.”

Wethering The Storm

Alas Donbass
Is broken glass
As allies raise up arms
But deliver he
Is not sent free
Despite Zelensky charms

Putin guessed right
His right/just plight
Can weather sanction storm
And in a while
EU's smug bile
Will struggle to keep...

Past due Ukraine

Wiled West's refrain

V-lad bombs a gain
Refuse remain
