If todays post seems a little bleak, just chalk it up to me still suffering with my cold and reading way too much news on my day off. Not Today…. But SOON. Now once again the skies are dark, No rockets fly today. The drive and budget for the stars, Have long since gone away.…

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…

I’ve seen and heard one too many ads attacking Liberal leader JustinTrudeau.

I had a stressful morning at work today which at least answered the question of what to write about….. ANGER MISMANAGEMENT The anger mounts inside of me, It will not go away. It grows and grows and will not die, It seems it’s here to stay. The slightest thing that thwarts my will, Can tap…

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…
