Howdy, I’m Patrick Joseph Foos and this is my website!

This is is the long-term home of my poems, rants, and ramblings (along with archives of published works. Take a look around and enjoy content that you can’t find anywhere other than scattered Instagram stories, two separate Substacks, the Valor Dictus website, or actually nowhere else.

To get started, take a look inside a folder or two, get to know me, or take a look at some of my Favorite Pieces. If you’re interested in the technical side of things, check out the design of this site or just ask me.

This is a perpetual work in progress, and I fear I know less about how everything works than I ought to, but hopefully you’re able to at least find something interesting.

29 - Daily Poem

I’m not sure why the people like
To read my daily poem
Producing them is not that hard
You could make them at home

But I appreciate your views
And hope you like the post
But as for skill in poetry
I have nothing to boast

An iamb here, a rhyme or two
The ballad form employed
And that’s about all that I do
I’m glad that they’re enjoyed
