Solitude
Solitude, a little slice of heaven.
Word homicide
A homicide with no solution in sight. Try as they might. ~ Word vomit like a comet ~ spilling from my veins. Imagine the strain. ~ Each beat of my heart pouring out words with a start. ~ Words with no home. Words that need to roam. ~ Ideas that are just a flash thoughtsContinue reading “Word homicide”
You’re the problem with the world
“Sticks and stones break one’s bones, but names will never hurt me.” Lies! All lies! Lies we tell ourselves Lies! All lies! I’m fantastic.

Time to start livin’
A very wise friend told me recently, “time to start living’”. I’ve thought a lot about his words. Other people around me are ‘busy living’, doing things they feel called or led to do. Things they find fun. Or simply things they just want to learn how to do. And not necessarily from Youtube. I’mContinue reading “Time to start livin’”
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”
