A Crappy Poem – And Okayu Sings

A Crappy Poem – Don’t Read Overwhelmed by love and you walk in and I see you and I cry in my heart because you are there and I am here and we are always together. Overwhelmed by this emptiness when I turn to an empty bed and smell the sheets are losing the scent …

A Word on the Wind – Poetry

A Word on the Wind I've been wandering hopelessly through my thoughts I've been trying to distinguish what is real and what is not Sometimes I wish I could write my words on the wind Because then they would have life and movement You would finally hear what I have to say They float to …

I Don’t Know Why – Poetry

I just finished reading a very readable little book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. My daughter recommended it as one of her favorite books.  I felt like I was reading a little section of her soul when I read it.  I'll try to write a little overview/review later.  For now, here's a …

When We Forget Who We Are

Sunday is for poetry and rest.  I added a new poem to my Intermission Poetry collection.  I hope today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow is forgotten. Sad for Today We live in the saddest of times It’s not the worst of times, nor the best It’s now the time, that we cannot rest If …

Hey – Why So Gay and Fuzzy

I don't know what to blog about, and that's a really weird title for a blog. I'll just write some random streaming poetry.  I think it might be Pride month.  Let's see, what is politically correct and appropriate to say?  Be yourself and don't be too judgy, kay? Everybody walks their own walk and everybody …

Sunday Poetry – A Worse and Better Time

Below is a poem for you.  You know who you are.  You're the one I love so much. https://youtu.be/TT0jpxmhRck A song to play in the background while you read.  If only life had theme songs to play in the background, but alas our lives are lived with little music and sound that is appropriate for …

21 – I’ve Been Putting This One Off

Number 21 on the 30 Day Challenge is a question that strikes me the hardest. 21. What three lessons do you want your children to learn from you? I'm a pretty horrible person.  That's not false humility, but fact.  I'm the antagonist in my life's novel.  I was pretty decent around Chapter 5, but after …

Poetry and Pecos Hank

Grace told me I don't write enough poetry these days.  I did think of one while watching the storm begin and end from my window. Tornado Thunder rolls in the distance Every sharp peal and distant growl Isn’t so innocent Because the turbulence on the prowl Will make you feel reticent Toward knowing all the …

Day 16 – That Something and Someone That I Miss

On Day 16 was borne a thought about missing you.  It was a thought of longing and despair. And then the thought grew to hopeful dreams. During this thought process, I smiled every day and did not let things get to me. But then when you didn't appear After days and weeks and years The …
