You've read poems. You've met left-handed people. But you haven't read poems by left-handed people. (Or maybe you have, but you didn't know it. Or at least, it wasn't in the title, right?) Here, you will find a collection of short poems both silly and serious, heart-breaking and adventurous, metaphoric and face-valued; and all written by me: a left-handed nerd with a touch of outlandish humor and a mite of wistful romance. Highest ranking: #108 in Poetry (Mar. 17, 2017)

They say April showers bring May flowers... My second poetry project, including a poem for every day in April, and then some, with themes of heartache, shifting times, honest thoughts, newsprung life, and hope for the future. (Oh, and there are a few silly poems, too!) Highest ranking: #39 in Poetry (May 6, 2017)

That beautiful color of lightest brown, ecru: Plain and empty; but also the color of a fresh start, a new dawn. My third poetry project, about life. Highest ranking: #168 in Poetry (August 1, 2017)

Twenty poems you won't want to miss. "I wrote a book of rhyme and reason, of simple words for time and season." A best-of compilation, containing selected entries from my previous works: Poems of the Left Hand, Spring and Light, and Ecru Skies. Also featuring one original poem just for this set, and one brand-new poem from my upcoming poetry collection. Ranked #488 in Poetry, 10/2/17. All poems are original and written by me, Hansel Haase.

"Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in myself - it's never done." In the end, we're all constant fixer-uppers, aren't we? My fourth poetry project, of reconstruction. All poems are original and written by me. (Title and theme inspired from "Local Construction" by Relient K.) Ranked #457, Nov. 28, 2017.

A twelve-part poetry collection based on a true story. To be read in individual parts or as one epic. All poems are original and composed by me. Ranked #615 in Poetry (Jan. 25, 2018)

Sometimes we're all a little different. Sometimes we just don't fit in. It's okay. Neither do these random things I've written.

Behold, a small selection of works written from 12:30-1:30 a.m. on the 16th of April, 2020, for your reading pleasure, sincerely, Hansel.
