Personal Poetry Challenge Day Thirty-Seven

I work in a cell phone store so I often hear about new tech is destroying people’s ability to communicate. This always makes me a little crazy. You see I grew up without even a phone. Trust me, I know a thing or two about living in a simpler time. It’s Fear The Future A…

Personal Poetry Challenge Day Thirty-Six

Still on the personal side. I’ll change the tone soon. Well as soon as the voices in my head move on. Learning To Be…. I tell a joke I get a laugh, I tell another joke. I tell a joke I get a punch, No more fun do I poke. I try to learn from…

Personal Poetry Challenge Day Thirty-Five

A little bit of introspection led to today’s tale of woe and self-redemption. It’s all about self acceptance and understanding your own worth.

Sometimes all we need is to believe. It doesn’t matter what we believe or even if it’s true. Just believing is enough to get us through. The Cat In The Box Quite long ago quite far away, Deep in the dark of night. A little boy sits quaking there, Quite paralyzed with fright. He knows…

Personal Poetry Challenge Day Thirty-Two

Something a little different and a little darker. Don’t judge me…. The Sacrifice The torchlight flickers on the walls, And casts a fitful light. The revellers all cloaked in black, Present a fearsome sight. Wait where am I how’d I get here? My memory’s a blur. There were some drinks there was this girl, Of…

Personal Poetry Writing Challenge Day Thirty-one

So the poetic adventure continues. With no idea what to write, this extra thirty-one poem idea seemed a bit like hubris. Then once I started writing….. it just wouldn’t stop. I hope you enjoy this little…. Trip To Fairyland I dreamed I lay upon a beach, ‘Neath sun I’d never seen. Where all my life…

So, today is officially the last day of National Poetry Writing Month. This poem means I’ve done it again. I’m busy congratulating myself. I mean really…. thirty poems in thirty days, that’s an achievement to be proud of. Which was fine until I mentioned to Lynn that I was finished writing a poem every day.…

NaPoWriMo Day Twenty-Nine

I asked my muse what to write about today, and she suggested the idea of…. Paying It Forward An act of kindness once it’s done, Can echo far and wide. But that is not it’s true reward, For that is felt inside. Some do some grand, impressive act, In hope of gaining fame. But in…
