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”

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!

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.

Greatest Poem of the World

May 7, 2021 ~ @valsisms ~ Leave a comment

I wanted to write a title that evoked narcissism. Am I a narcissist? Do you ever wake up and wonder that about yourself? I mean, you are always thinking about yourself, right? Don't you think about yourself all the time? I read a book once (a few times, it's a good book), The Untethered Soul, … Continue reading Greatest Poem of the World

April 26, 2021 ~ @valsisms ~ Leave a comment

But sometimes the music writes the lyrics. Since I haven't been able to get to my guitar, I … Continue reading Some New Lyrics, or a Poem?
