    I’ve been drawing sailboats lately, so I thought to incorporate that phase into my writing as well. The Joy of Sail A ship of wood, a ship of steel, Or carbon fiber tech. It’s sails belled with steady wind, Warm sun upon the deck. The wheeling gulls cry loud and free, Beneath cerulean skies. The…

    I am well aware that not everyone will agree with today’s poem and that’s okay. This post reflects my views on the current situation. Thank you for keeping any comments polite, respectful and brief. COVID 19 This virus, such a tiny thing, How quick, how far it spread. Around the globe in just a year,…

    As you may have seen in previous posts here, I also enjoy drawing. I had really stepped back from it for while when my daughter was young and I was busier doing Dad stuff. She is out in the world now and I have started re-investing my time in visual art. I’m never going to…

    For myself typically the problem isn’t finding words. Words I’ve got in abundance! The problem is finding words that I can force into some form of narrative. That’s where the tricky bits are, and that’s the subject of today’s poem. So Many Words, So Little Focus I feel the words rush through my mind, In…

    Don’t Fight the Dark I see a light through fog and dark, To it I turn my eye. A beacon and a guide I see, As shifting shadows fly. Lost have I been within the dark, How long I cannot say. I pray this glint, this gleam may lead, Once more to light of day.…

    Now for something completely different! Sometimes, I just start writing with no real idea of where it’s going or what the narrative is going to be. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes, like this time for example, it takes itself in some truly unforseen directions. The Ghost Writer I swore that I would never…

    NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 5

    Before anyone argues that their dog is the best one, I just want to say… Every dog is the best one that ever was. Not just dogs. Every pet that is loved by their owner is the best one that ever was. It’s not a competition… it’s all about the blessing! Loving My Best Dog…

    With all the people I see complaining about “cancel culture”, snowflakes, and people being offended, I wanted to share the following. You Don’t Know You don’t know what I have been through, Nor truly anyone. Perhaps you think you speak in jest, Are only having fun. But words cut deep and deeper still, Their wounds…
