David Webb
Filed under: Authors
David Webb is a raconteur, ringer of handbells, seeker of Madonna shells, chaser of grandchildren, and self-proclaimed poet who graduated from the University of Lynchburg (née Lynchburg College) in his hometown of—get this—Lynchburg, Virginia, with a degree in English. He spent 30 years teaching—would you believe—English [a word for which there is only one rhyme: "Yinglish"] in high school, where he also coached tennis [only rhyme (fittingly): "menace"]. His poems have appeared out of nowhere. The South River Writers, of which he is a charter member, sometimes wonder.
David is a passionate practitioner of the 'art' of the sonnette, a 14-line 'poetry' form with but one syllable per line, examples of which can be found (and comments welcomed) at dwwebb43@msn.com.
