New Year's Projects In Store

Well time is on for new year's resolutions. I'm making some that not only I'll benefit from but that I'll embrace the joy of achieving. Eating smaller amounts of healthy, tasty food (instead of whatever's cheapest and biggest) with hours apart between meals. Writing a poem every day for that day (instead of just random stuff I'll make it more to the live-in-the-moment than before) and making a book of poems from it. Finishing Moon Mist Valley. Continuing the Artifact and Poet's Espresso. And wri… Continue

Inspiration sources from books

I've decided it's a good idea, an idea that was passed on to my from a good friend Roger, that I base a book either of poetry or a novel on the themes presented in one of my favorite books or from one of my favorite role-models.

Poem

A winter night at Orange Grove The laundry room is closed and the steam of dryers gone. The Christmas lights in an upstairs window dark. I stand out here smoking, pebbles I can’t see popping beneath my shoes. A dead woman haunts the walkways, a trail of blue smoke . . . .

The stain leaps at me from the darkness.
