I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night so figuring out today’s poem took a little more brain than usual. Turns out, lack of sleep can be its own reward… or at least its own inspiration… I think reward may be a little strong. Enjoy! On Lack of Sleep Come sleep, long sleep, deep…

So…. ummmm… this is a little more different than usual. Also, a lot longer (which is why I didn’t finish it yesterday). If Lovecraft had written in rhyming couplets, he probably still would’ve had too much self-respect to write this. Regardless… enjoy! On The Hidden God “Come in and see! Come in and see!” He…

Once again, I am writing a day behind. It seems to be my new standard, but at least it’s done. Only eleven more to go. Today’s offering is about believing in your dreams regardless of what “everybody knows”. On What Is Impossible It’s true that wonders never cease, More happen every day. Impossible is just…

With all the world facing the pandemic, I have been debating whether or not to write about it. This is my take on it. On COVID 19 When things look bleak and we’re in fear, Just know we will get through. No matter how the deck looks stacked, Believe we will get through. Disease and…

Once again, life has conspired to delay a post. I’m still in the fight, but some days it’s lions 47, gladiators 0. Yesterday was one of those days. On Being a Night-Owl Bright and blessed the day may be, But sacred is the night. Life’s labours done beneath the sun, But sacred is the night.…

On Perseverence A terrifying thing to see. A screen so blank and white. As I sit here staring blankly, My thoughts flit round in fright. I…

I was supposed to post this yesterday, but sometimes life happens. Another one will magically appear in due course. Hopefully before the end of the day 🙂 On Missing Nature A long and winding country road, A field of high, sweet hay. Ten billion stars above my head, To gaze at where I lay. …

I’m a huge fan of “Cosmos”, both the Nat Geo series with Neil Degrasse Tyson and the book by Carl Sagan. This poem is an ode to them and also to “The Mars Generation” and it’s founder Astronaut Abby. Enjoy! On Going to Mars I walk across a dry, red plain, Towards a distant hill.…

It was a beautiful day today and I spent some time in my backyard watching the birds and squirrels and listening to the geese calling in the distance. I love the spring! On The Beauty of Spring Once more the air is filled with chirps, Not heard for far too long. Our migrant birds back…
