Chapter 10 Part 2 “Flower for your thought.” Kol didn’t respond. Kessa sat down in front of him. “Daydreaming.” He finally answered. “Would you care if I asked you a personal question?” “As always, my king, I reserve the right not to answer.” She grinned. “You would deny your king?” “You would make one ofContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”

A Poet
I saw the tag line recently, “no one really wants to be a poet.” Poetry is my ‘mont hault’, *mowat. I will never be independently wealthy from my verse. It could be worse. Milton, Eliot, Dickinson, I am not. Emotions I have not caught, I can lay them out on the page. My brain IContinue reading “A Poet”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 10 Part 1 Kol went outside to let the sun beat on his face. He couldn’t spend another second looking at words. Along the path through the garden were tiny purple flowers. He sat on the ground stroking the flowers small petals with his fingertips. “Wasn’t that fun?” Kessa asked. “Our trip to KeptaContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Waste not. Want not.
Waste not. Want not. Growing up; my daily life was filled with the saying, “waste not, want not.” When you’re young, what clue do you have in lives dot? As we grow; we learn, “money don’t grow on trees.” I save the salt from chocolate squeeze. To my stew you are added. Flavor has beenContinue reading “Waste not. Want not.”

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 9 Part 2 Kol stopped to examine some fruit. In his head he was no longer in the market, he was laying curled up in the bed. A decision couldn’t be made to pass out or throw up. “Talk to me.” He whispered. “What would you like to talk about?” Her voice was softContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Big Mouth
December 1998 Gemmy Industries invented Big Mouth Billy Bass the animatronic singing fish. He belted out “Take me to the River” in grand fashion. By the early 2000’s, Billy had us rolling in Wal-Mart aisles every where with laughter. I have an indoor dog, Chico. He is house broken which means many, many walks. IContinue reading “Big Mouth”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 9 Part 1 A nice walk through the market would clear his head. He and Abraham strolled along. Most of the citizens were too afraid to approach him. His grandfather four generations back made sure of that. He ruled with an iron fist. Or so Kol had read. His subjects were so afraid ofContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Lazy Saturday
Hanging out with fam-ends. Basketball on the t.v. Lazy Saturday. Pop in my glass. Snacks on the bar. Lazy Saturday. Cold outside. Ham’s baked. Lazy Saturday. Dogs asleep in their beds. Tie game. Lazy Saturday. Scalloped potatoes in the oven. Wait! We’re ahead. Lazy Saturday. Need more days like this. Relaxing. Lazy Saturday. Let’s celebrate.Continue reading “Lazy Saturday”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 8 As Kol came to, the world around him was different shades of green. Why was he cold? Why was he wet? Standing took great effort. He fell forward, mud shot in the air when he stomped his foot on the ground to catch himself. The varying shades of green started to take shape:Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
