  • Courage, Forward

    Just take a step, One single step, Each one leads to one more. And with each step, Each single step, You’re farther than you were. So take a chance, Take just one chance, You thought you’d never take. Then find your life, And seize that life, Go live the life you make. It’s harder far,…

  • Late Night Musing

    Working as a security guard late at night gives the brain time to wander.  <u>The Nightguards’ Lament </u> A wind through empty windows shifts Some hanging plastic sheets.  As rhythmic as the crashing surf.  Sounds almost like heartbeats.  It’s late so very late at night In truth more early morn.  I walk alone through cold…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 29

    I think I mentioned last time that things get a little strange once the creativity starts flowing. Well, hopefully I can finish on a slightly more normal note.   A Note To My Therapist A dream perhaps and yet more real, than I have known before. How can I know the truth of it, what’s…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 28

    Sometimes when I wrench open the creative valve, the weirdest things get washed out.   On Ghosthunters A figure faintly seen at night, there in the empty place. If you could gain a closer view, would you gaze on it’s face?   It walks there every night alone, even when it’s not seen. Would you…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 21

    Okay… so it should have been day 21. I’ve got a lot going on right now, so it’s not feasible to write every day. I figure I’ll settle for writing thirty poems in thirty days just not necessarily one a day.   A Writers’ Sin These words these words and more words still, how sick of…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 16ish

    So yes, I’m running behind.  Life hasn’t been terribly cooperative with the NaPoWriMo deal this year, but I’m still hanging in there.   Desperate Words The ghosts of verses from the past, go moaning through my head. The do not let me write new lines, my skill with words seems dead. I start a verse…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 11

    With everything going on, it’s not always easy to fall asleep. Tonight’s effort is my fondest wish for anyone with this problem.   Ode to Morpheus Sleep my loves sleep, and dream sweet dreams, of love and joy and peace. Leave fear and stress and woe behind, all pain you now release. So close your…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 3

    It’s late and I should be in bed, buuuuuut…… this should just take a minute.   Seek a Different Path The dance begins, the battle joined, the words cut just like knives. We know that we should just let go, this is not worth our lives. But we can’t just forget the hurts, keep living…

  • My Facebook feed has been filling up with posts referencing Clint Eastwood’s recent interview with Esquire magazine in which he slammed political correctness and referred to this as “the Pussy Generation”. Despite his best efforts, and being totally wrong, Mr. Eastwood accidentally slipped a little bit of truth in there. You see, he is treating…

  • Christmas Poem

    THE REASON FOR THE SEASON The reason for the season isn’t just another gift. It’s the kindness done for others that will give your heart a lift. It’s not the presents you receive, it’s not the ones you’ve bought. It’s smiles, hugs and faces dear, that will not be forgot. So instead of asking for…
