To Grace – Happy Birthday

March 10, 2023 ~ @valsisms ~ 2 Comments

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 … Continue reading To Grace – Happy Birthday

Unsure of Title and Much More – A Poem

February 18, 2023 ~ @valsisms ~ 2 Comments

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 … Continue reading Unsure of Title and Much More – A Poem

As I Recall (A Poem), this Holiday Season

December 23, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ 2 Comments

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," … Continue reading As I Recall (A Poem), this Holiday Season

An Embarrassingly Horrid Story and a Song

June 21, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ 2 Comments

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. She never understood how someone wrote an entire book with all these things happening, all these characters interacting, and a plot with … Continue reading An Embarrassingly Horrid Story and a Song

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

June 18, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ 2 Comments

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

My Strange Life and What…?

May 22, 2022May 22, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ 8 Comments

I've worked the 9-5 routine for a long time. I've worked in retail, sales, delivery, customer service and healthcare. When I lost my job last year, it really made me reconsider a lot of things.. and cry a bit. And then, the rent went from $950 to $1425 the same month; I cried a bit … Continue reading My Strange Life and What…?

Ikanaide – and My Poem, Often

March 11, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ Leave a comment

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 … Continue reading Ikanaide – and My Poem, Often

It is Live and Finished – Intermission Poetry!

January 13, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ 4 Comments

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, … Continue reading It is Live and Finished – Intermission Poetry!

January 7, 2022 ~ @valsisms ~ Leave a comment

Woo, a tree! Photo by Lukas Rodriguez on Pexels.com Poetry books, on average, run around 65 to 110 pages. Some are slightly shorter or longer. 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 … Continue reading About “Intermission Poetry,” and then I Wondered…

Maybe… a Poem

September 25, 2021 ~ @valsisms ~ 1 Comment

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 … Continue reading Maybe… a Poem
