Legend has it, That when the moon is full, …and bright, You can see her, But only at the hour of midnight. She comes with cat like grace, Trying, Searching, ….seeking, Her reflection, A moment to see her face. Cursed she was, Because of love, ….or was it pride? Depending on whose telling the tale. [...]

Faces excited, The players, Took their places. And what would the night bring? I wondered as I looked on, … in fascination. Top [...]

~Dancing in a Raindrop~ I hear a far off drumming, Starting to begin. Sometimes the storms, Just takes my breath away. And takes me in…. Rat..a…tat….tat, Rat..a…tat….tat, And my mind just drifts away, To other, Long ago days. Splash…splash…splash, Oh, I was so fast….. Each puddle got bigger, …and bigger, As the rain fell drop [...]

An older one. My son returned safely from two deployments! ~Wishes On Wings~ I cry, From love and fear, At this moment, I would give anything, ….anything, To have you near. Now you fly, Across those far off seas, That take you even farther, ….away from me. I remember the sweetness of your baby face, [...]

“Forsake me not, O Lord.“ Psalm 38:21   Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without [...]

Do you think Autism is a real disease?  After watching Ingenious Minds last night profile John Elder Robison (http://science.discovery.com/video-topics/brain-intelligence/ingenious-minds-john-robison.htm), I have to say, more decidedly than ever, no.  It is not.  In fact it seems even more made-up and artificial than the king of made-up artificial diseases, Bipolar Disorder.  I do, though, have to applaud [...]

This was written and designed for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge, where the topic is notable odors, and the preferred formats Haiku or Limerick.  This is a variation on the Limerick which I developed a few years ago, where instead of the first line rhyming with the second and fifth, there is an internal [...]

  Friday Fling #233 for May 24th 2013   Do you smell that?  What IS it? Well for one thing, it’s this week’s Fling topic.  Odors. What are your favorites, or your least favorites? Since odors are mostly naturally occurring, I naturally thought of the nature format, the Haiku. A three line poem of 5-7-5 [...]

minutes after the roomie gave me permission to drive to Sunday’s gig, she was talking about throwing me out if “things didn’t change” by the end of summer…I was feeling pretty dammed good for a minute or so… I had pizza for dinner; expecting problems, if I go to bed too soon that is…should be [...]

“The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.” Psalm 138:8   Most manifestly the confidence which the Psalmist here expressed was a divine confidence. He did not say, “I have grace enough to perfect that which concerneth me–my faith is so steady that it will not stagger–my love is so warm that it will never [...]
