  • NaPoWriMo Day 9

    Again today, I allowed my mind to wander off and write this without too much direction from me.  Sometimes it surprises me with what it comes up with.  Enjoy! Something To Think About As I sit down to write this verse, My mind goes wand`ring free, Then it returns, comes back at last, It seems…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 8

    I moved away from my hometown 25 years ago. I left behind my family and almost everyone I knew. I made a new start and haven’t regretted that decision for a minute. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss them. This weekend, my brother and his wife were in the area visiting her family so…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 6

    Now for something completely different. Well at least different from the tone so far this month. Today’s offering is a little more in tune with what I’ve written in years past. As I used to do, I just started writing and let the energy of the words decide the rest. Enjoy! Natural Healing For A…

  • NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 1

    It’s April 1st which means the kick-off of this year’s challenge. Let’s start this off right with my annual tribute to Spring. Officially one of my favourite seasons. Not least because it’s not Winter anymore. Enjoy! SPRING The rain that falls, The wind that blows, The Spring sun dawns, An end to snows. Now new…

    Okay, okay…. I know it’s “another” Spring poem. The season inspires me like no other. It truly is my favourite. So yes… I do tend to write about it a bit too often. Then again, these are my poems, so I guess that’s okay. Enjoy! Spring 3.0 Now spring is here, the crocus blooms, Promise…

    I love to sing. I think, and most people would agree, I’m not very good at it. In fact, very not good might be more accurate. I am very fortunate indeed then that the one person who most often hears it actually enjoys it! Against all probability, Lynn likes when I sing. What are the…

    I was talking with my wife Lynn this morning and thinking how blessed I am to have her in my life. We each have our fair share of issues, but we are aware of them and we are working at dealing with them. Neither of us is perfect, but we are perfect for each other.…

    Sometimes it feels like everything today is about being darker, grittier, more cynical and sarcastic. Instead of that tried and disproven approach, maybe try this. Be The Light A smile, a word, a life is saved, Is pulled back from the brink. The power of a kindness is, Much greater than you think. The server…

  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 10

    I had absolutely no idea what to write about today. I said to Lynn, “I’ll make myself a coffee and see how it goes.” That simple idea provided the impetus for today’s effort. Magic Bean Juice How great the joy that I derive, From just the smallest sip. That mighty bean, filled with caffeine, Holds…

  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 8

    So instead of writing this verse, I was reading today. This turned out to be a good thing as it gave me the subject for today’s project. No it isn’t about procrastination… it’s about books. On Books A book you’ve loved is something that, Will never fade away. Though some details, time may obscure, The…
