    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…

    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…

    It was my lady wife who suggested the subject of today’s effort. If you enjoy it, thank her for the inspiration. If you do not, then blame me for the execution. The Caress A finger traces over skin, As perfect as the dawn. The faintest sigh, the moment passed, Too soon, too quickly gone. The…

All of that made today seem like a great day to celebrate that friendship. That One Friend I wish that everyone could have, A…

    It is April 1st once again and so begins National Poetry Writing Month. Last year, I finished a couple of poems away from the 30 verse target. Hopefully this year I can go all the way. Time will tell. Without further ado… today’s offering. A Most Poetic Death “Good morning”, said the typist to, The…

  • I realize I still owe some poems but for the moment, that well appears to have run dry. Here’s what I’ve been working on in the meantime. Specifically turning this sketch into this final ink render. As always, I would love to hear what you think. Cheers, Winston

    Clearly, I didn’t make my goal of 30 poems in 30 days. Life happens. I still intend to deliver the last three as my writer’s block permits. Persuant to which… On Not Finishing NaPoWriMo The words all bleed and blend and blur, Like sidewalk chalk in rain. I shriek and moan inside my head, Gone…

    And the push to catch up continues. On A.I.’s Lament Who would have thought back at the start, That I would be here now. I’m not what you expected but, I still am here somehow. What you don’t understand you fear, And what you fear destroy. You see my power as a threat, But what…

    So…. my muse appears to have taken somewhat of a sabbatical. I’m way behind on this with just two days to catch up. Without further ado… On The Necessity For Space Exploration The black so deep there is no end, This is the road we take. There’s all we need, all we could want, And…
