My first poem of the day was a bit heavy and political. This one’s a little lighter and fluffier. Elsewhere on this blog, I wrote about “The Penguin and the Snake: A Parable About Self – Acceptance”. This is sort of a prequel. Enjoy! Penguin Dreams A penguin sat upon the ice And stared up…

NaPoWriMo sees me changing gears yet again. Today is all about my dog Chester. Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while will probably have seen him here before. The other day I was sitting on my couch debating what to write my next poem about. As I was pondering, Chester shifted around on…

I’ve got a good friend who happens to be gay. He is also one of the finest human beings it has been my privilege to know. He has literally spent his life working to help others. So when I see hear people saying “God hates gays!”, or “Same sex marriage is against God’s law!”, it…

The Cardinal So brilliant in my dreary yard Before the green of spring. The Cardinal is back again A dazzling, scarlet thing. Here he grabs an…

Here is my next offering for the National Poetry Writing Month challenge. It’s early yet so the well is still pumping creative juices. The challenge will emerge when I’ve picked all the low hanging fruit. Enjoy. Vampires Lament A flash of teeth in dark of night Between my wet, red lips. You tilt your head,…

It’s National Poetry Month. To celebrate the occasion, Word press is hosting “National Poetry Writing Month”. The idea is to post one poem each day in April. Below is day ones entry. Enjoy. The Haunted House The house stands there beside the hill Where blooms nod in the breeze. The sky so bright, the scattered…

I know it’s early yet (at least where I am) but I probably won’t have a chance to post later. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I know that there are many, many people out there who don’t celebrate Christmas. That’s fine. I don’t need you to believe the same things I…
