Yesterday was just a little too bleak. So today I figured to write about the one thing in my life that is always wonderful. No matter how lousy I feel, my incredible wife is always there to make me smile. My Angel Lynn There is someone who listens as, I endlessly recite. And try to…

Working in retail means I get exposed to whatever virus is currently making the rounds. Turns out there is a vicious head cold out there. Trust me on this. The Plague Day One I have a plague within my nose, A nasty common cold. It runs and stuffs and blocks and hurts, This joke is…

Walking to work today I had to stop to catch my breath because of pains in my chest. This started me thinking “What if..” This poem is the result of those musings. The Stygian Maiden A maiden sits upon a bank, Midst flowers near a stream. I know this place I’ve seen her here, But…

The ongoing expressions of faith (specifically Christian) on Facebook have caught my eye again. This poem is for all those who feel obliged to tell me how great their God is. I Believe…. That’s all you need to know. There’s scads of Gods and Goddesses, Enough to go around. But when the real work needs…

So I was talking to myself at work the other day and one of my coworkers commented on it. I explained to them that sometimes it’s the only way to get a decent conversation. This poem comes from that discussion. ME, MYSELF & ALL THE REST I hear a voice within my head Just one…

Not sure what to write about today, so I’ll write about that very dilemma. KEEP CALM AND WRITE ON So once again I hunt for words, Seek my elusive rhyme. And run down inspiration with, One eye stuck on the time. I have a thought then think again, Think I did that last year. This…

So I’ve been watching “Cosmos” with Neil Degrasse-Tyson and it inspired this poem. Enjoy! STARDUST FOREVER An ancient star was dying and It’s fires burning low. Then with one final mighty burst It’s bulk the star did throw. The star is dead, a tiny thing A cider dark and small. But all around, the stuff…
