  • Spirit of Torment

    Last week at work I did the following sketch. I sent it to my wife who said “Tell me that isn’t on a piece of scrap paper because I love it and want to hang it!” Of course it is on a piece of scrap paper. So this week, I set about re-doing it more…

  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 27

    Today is the 27th of May here in Ottawa and it is snowing steadily and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. This is more than a little unusual. A few flakes, a mini flurry sure. Not uncommon you say. But this isn’t that. This is uncommon for this time of year. It gave rise…

    Something a little different today. The Lonely One Oh won’t you please come in and sit, Not many folks stop by. The place gives them a weird feeling, So most won’t even try. But you’re not most, you’re braver far, At least got through the door. If you could just come closer now, I’ll show…

    Hump Day! Today is the midpoint of the month! Today, I was at my trailer for the first time this year. I was with Lynn and Ducky and everything was going well. Out of the blue, I had a terrible anxiety attack. I don’t want to let it run my life again, so I’m trying…

    Obviously, I didn’t get this finished last night. But hey, here it is anyway. It’s all about the world we have to live in and changing it into the world we want to live in. On Not Being A Greedy Supervillain I wonder just how far we’ll go, And how we will get there. Or…

  • So yesterday ended as a bit of a disaster. I got it sorted out in the end, but by then it was too late to write this because I had to work today. Long story short, here’s yesterday’s poem. It’s all about not being nastier to yourself than you are to others. Be As Kind…

    I struggle a lot with getting overwhelmed by the things I have to do. Then I don’t do them. Then I get more overwhelmed. Then I don’t do them… I think you see how that works. Well, I’ve been working at changing that. This poem kind of articulates that struggle for me. The Way Forward…

    For many years, I allowed my past (or at least my perception of it) to dictate how I saw myself. Over time, I’ve revised that narrative. I’m working on becoming a synthesis of who I believe I was and who I believe I can be. Today’s poem looks at the importance of acknowledging the past…

    Over two-thirds of the way through the month and it’s getting a little more challenging. But with a suggestion from my personal muse, angel and wife, here we are. The Challenge I hate it when I must work with, Deadlines of any kind. The very thought I might miss them. Sets traps within my mind.…
