To Grace – Happy Birthday

Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com I couldn't write a real birthday poem. I've been a bit lacking in creativity, as of late. I don't know why. I play my guitar and all the chords fall flat. Words don't rhyme. My fingers actually feel sore. That never happened before. I wanted to say I love …

Unsure of Title and Much More – A Poem

I've mentioned before that I have a sister who hates me. I don't really know why. She honestly thinks I'm a demon. No, seriously. I can't make this stuff up. Me and my son are evil demons according to her. We are just a house full of demons over here. My sweet girl, Fuzzy She …

As I Recall (A Poem), this Holiday Season

This has been a strange year. I guess life has been strange in all it's difficulties and blessings. I look over at my son and see this brightness in his eyes. He makes it a point to tell me he loves me. Everyday we have a contest to see who will say, "I love you," …

An Embarrassingly Horrid Story and a Song

I used to have a writer friend who only wrote vignettes. I was a novelist and she wrote these really short little glimpses of life. I thought it was interesting. She was interesting.

200th Post is a Poem – “Poetry to the Third”

This photo makes me laugh - don't know why.(Photo by Hyoung Chang/The Denver Post via Getty Images) I posted a blog the other day on some conspiracy theories like flat earth, things my crazy family wholeheartedly believe, and cultish behavior with their Trumpism. I got some extremist and weird comments. I have to "approve" my …

My Strange Life and What…?

Ikanaide – and My Poem, Often

I am a romantic at heart. I've been a romantic for a long time. Most songwriters, poets and writers are romantic. We pull from deep within our soul. I was coordinating and writing my third poetry book, Poetry to the Third. I hope to have it finished by Christmas. It will be very heartfelt about …

It is Live and Finished – Intermission Poetry!

I did it. I self-published the book, Intermission Poetry: Thoughts While Taking a Break. These are the accumulated poems I had been writing for almost two years. It is available on Kindle as an e-book and also as a soft cover. Both are quite inexpensive, about the cost of a cup of coffee. Thanks! So, …

I finished formatting Intermission Poetry and its at the average length. There are around 65 poems in the book. Now, I have to self-publish. I do not have a cover …

Maybe… a Poem

I realize I haven't been updating much on my blog. Grace reminded me how behind I am. I've just been so busy rebuilding my life and such. I'm also enjoying seeing my family that I had lost touch with a long time ago. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I also think I caught Covid. I …
