I know this should have posted this last night. Things happen and don’t always work out the way you would like, but here it is now. I’ll post Day 13 tonight 🙂 My Blessed Life I’m blessed. That is the only way, I can explain my life. From having nought, to having all, all…

I write these verses because Lynn enjoys them so much. I’m certain I could find something less brain abusing to do with my time, but whatever it might be wouldn’t bring her so much pleasure. That makes it all worthwhile. Â I do this all because her Because of You “You took my breath away.”…

Well, today it’s back to the introspection thing.  Lynn found yesterday’s effort a tad unsettling. Peopling (or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Tolerate The Crowd) Once upon a time there was, a boy who never learned. To be a boy like others were, so all friendships he spurned.

I’m actually a day late with this. I had planned a while ago to participate again in NaPoWriMo. Then totally zoned yesterday and forgot about it. Oops. Here we go anyway! The Return of the Poet It’s April once again and I, Begin to write anew. To search throughout my cobwebbed mind, Tell something that…

My Springtime Ode The freebird sits up in the tree, And sings a freebird song. And all the other birds join in, And have a sing along. A squirrel hears the song and stops, And chatters out a line. About the joys of nuts and such, It really sounds quite fine, A doe and fawn…
