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

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”

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!

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

Oh… If I Could – A Poem

August 20, 2021 ~ @valsisms ~ Leave a comment

Photo by ROMAN ODINTSOV on Pexels.com I wrote a poem while traveling across the states. I'm in Arizona now and once I can figure out how to post these photos I will update on my travels. Right now I'm in the White Mountains. It's interesting because my family is from this area. I sense... something. … Continue reading Oh… If I Could – A Poem
