  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 1

    It seems like it was only eleven short months ago that I wrapped up my last verse of the year. Now here we are again. Softly, gently, we find ourselves wrapped in the sweet warmth of the dream, knowing all the time… the nightmare of writer’s block lurks somewhere up ahead. But that is a…

  • NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 21

    Over two-thirds of the way through the month and it’s getting a little more challenging. But with a suggestion from my personal muse, angel and wife, here we are. The Challenge I hate it when I must work with, Deadlines of any kind. The very thought I might miss them. Sets traps within my mind.…

  • NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 19

    It’s getting to that point in the month where all the easy ideas have been picked over. So something a little different now. As always, I’d love to know what people think. 🙂 The Power of Words “A picture’s worth a thousand words.”, Or so the people say. But if you read those thousand words,…

    As you may have seen in previous posts here, I also enjoy drawing. I had really stepped back from it for while when my daughter was young and I was busier doing Dad stuff. She is out in the world now and I have started re-investing my time in visual art. I’m never going to…

  • NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 10

    For myself typically the problem isn’t finding words. Words I’ve got in abundance! The problem is finding words that I can force into some form of narrative. That’s where the tricky bits are, and that’s the subject of today’s poem. So Many Words, So Little Focus I feel the words rush through my mind, In…

    Don’t Fight the Dark I see a light through fog and dark, To it I turn my eye. A beacon and a guide I see, As shifting shadows fly. Lost have I been within the dark, How long I cannot say. I pray this glint, this gleam may lead, Once more to light of day.…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 28

    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…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 24

    Here is the first of today’s offerings. I hope you like it. As always, let me know what you think. 😀 On God I reach my hand up to the sky, And try to touch God’s face. As high as I will ever reach, Touch only empty space.   The ceiling painting artist lied, God’s…
