Brian O'Rourke is an Army Chief Warrant Officer; stationed on his second tour of Germany. Previously stationed in far off places like Panama, Korea, Puerto Rico, Oklahoma and Louisiana; he has traveled all over the world. He especially liked cruising the islands of the Caribbean. Everything he encounters becomes an opportunity for a poem, a chance for his heart to sing, to laugh, to cry, to suffer, or if need be to admonish. He has a wife, two wild and crazy kids, and a cat named Holly. They provide him hours of entertainment and poetry material.
