Originally I had written a totally different poem tonight. Then a system crash wiped it out completely. But there’s a lesson in everything we experience. That was today’s lesson.

At least once each year, I hit a point where I can’t think of a single thing to write about. This invariably leads to something like the following. On Writer’s Block Another day has come and gone, And here I sit once more. With keyboard and an empty head, I’ve been through this before. …

I’d just like to say Happy Birthday to my friend Jen. Oh, and thank you for providing today’s idea 🙂 On Aging Your age is just a number folks, Or so they like to say. But now and then there is a sign, Those years are here to stay. They say we shrink as…

Ahhhh…. Spring is in the air! That means two things. It’s time to pick up the dog poop in the back yard, and it’s time to bruise my brain creating 30 days worth of something that I persist in calling poetry. I’ll let you know at the end of the month which one was more…
