Must I Wait?

If you invented yesterday How would today turn out? Must I wait until tomorrow Before I can find out?

One Track Mind

Better get on board the train you’re taking, whether love or hate It is only a short moment till boarding is done and you’re too late On the same track, speeding away in order to escape those fools Half-way round the world you’ll meet head-on; them’s the rules If you switch the engine so you […]

Welcome Back World

Yes, I know I’m the one who has been away, but it feels like the opposite. You will see no major changes to more format at present, but I will be changing my blog as I go along. Serials will return next week, but exclusively on the blog. Following, I want to introduce you to […]

Short Hiatus

As of today, 10/3/2014, the Pen’s Might will take a two-week break to solve some logistical concerns and to rethink my approach to this blog. The Pen’s Might will return by 10/17/2014. For anyone reading either of my serials, they will continue, but will not be shared after today. If you’ve been reading them other […]

Three-Letter Folk

Eni adjusted the scarf over the lower half of her face. She’d done it first to mask the odd smells that greeted her when she left the ship. […]

A Different Day

In this instant generation is it ever just now? If each moment is an anticipated future, how? Recording all our lives for future delectation Can existence contain any new expectation? Will it ever be right now, this moment, day? Can we live now while deciding what to say? It is said, history is written by […]

Answer to an Unasked Question

Passionate Pacific my daily inspiration, sunlight, sand and surf Murmured messages wash on shore, chased by crashing waves Warm strand, moonlit, twinkling on the swells, reflecting earth Wind, water, weather form transient art, nothing the sea saves Humbled by such vastness of ocean, rolling beyond the horizon This and more besides to stir or calm […]

Serial Tuesday ~ Toliver

Chapter Thirteen (cont.) Toliver lay there a while longer, with no sure clue as to how long, dazed, dozing, slipping into and out of awareness. When he could finally open his eyes and keep them open, he could see more of the area around him. He struggled back to his knees and looked up. The […]
