I’ve been reading a fair bit about the ongoing drone war controversy. I don’t agree with the idea of murdering people because they might be a threat to your “interests” somewhere down the road. Let’s not kid ourselves. If you kill someone without due process of law, that’s murder. Even more so when the dead…

As a gamer, it bugs the crap outta me when some people announce that violent games and movies are more to blame than “gun culture” for mass shootings. I live in Canada. That means I’m exposed to all the same violent games and media as my southern neigbours. On the other hand, we experience a…

NaPoWriMo sees me changing gears yet again. Today is all about my dog Chester. Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while will probably have seen him here before. The other day I was sitting on my couch debating what to write my next poem about. As I was pondering, Chester shifted around on…

I’m a huge movie nut. I love watching them, talking about them, and watching them again. Film snobs annoy me. I know what I like, but over the years I’ve learned the difference between “I don’t like that.” and “That’s bad.” When I’ve had a crap day, or I’m not feeling well, a movie can…

I’ve got a good friend who happens to be gay. He is also one of the finest human beings it has been my privilege to know. He has literally spent his life working to help others. So when I see hear people saying “God hates gays!”, or “Same sex marriage is against God’s law!”, it…

Day seven of NaPoWriMo sees me visiting with a very different sort of vampire. If I were to become a vampire, I’d probably be more like this one. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Enjoy! The sun has set the night is dark The darkness sets me free. I sense my anxious breakfast near How…

So I figured I’d lighten the mood a bit. Today’s NaPoWriMo entry is all about me… and the millions of others who work in malls or other places with no natural light. This one’s for all of us. Enjoy! The Mallshroom I run a shop within a mall From morn til day is done. I…

Today’s NaPoWriMo entry is a little different. Before you send me any hotline links, allow me to clarify. The inspiration for this comes from people I’ve known and films such as “The Aviator” wherein you observe the slow, inevitable disintegration of the person. That is what I set out to capture in this piece. Enjoy.…

NaPoWriMo and the creative well has yet to run dry. Here is the fourth poem of the month. Only twenty six to go! Enjoy. Lycanthrope I feel the moon drag at my soul Just like it pulls the tide. And when it grows all round and full It rips my soul aside. The beast within…

Here is entry number three for NaPoWriMo. Today’s is a little more pastoral. Don’t worry though, I’ve got something a little special cooking for tomorrow. In the meantime,… Enjoy. The Cardinal So brilliant in my dreary yard Before the green of spring. The Cardinal is back again A dazzling, scarlet thing. Here he grabs an…
