Sorrow and Mirth
Sorrow and Mirth ~~~~~ Watching the gray, the white, a patch of blue. Sky rapidly filling with rain-pregnant clouds, Calls to mind a thousand things, old and new, Fantastic creatures to mountains and shrouds.

Do You Surmise?
Do You Surmise? ~~~~~ I get so very few likes or comments. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I know I will sound weak if I lament; Not for satire, opinion, short or long. I realize all of my verses are not gems. I am sure that some stink up the joint, Still, I […]

Repeated Repetitions
Repeated Repetitions ~~~~~ We must hear repeated repetitions of many things Before we have a chance for them to become clear. Skulls more than thick we need multiple drillings.

Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity ~~~~~ When I set out to find my fortune, who knew I would land so far from home? Home a moving target while growing up. Though I understand it is not a place but a feeling which summons us and holds us together, yet, seeking escape velocity, While remaining always together to […]
Rules of Gravity
Rules of Gravity ~~~~~ She is as bright as all the stars. She treasures their light within Her bosom, their fires residing In her heart, soul to share their Radiance.
