What makes a poet? I once read a story where the author said, “if you want to be a writer, write.” If you are like me, you can come up with a million and one reasons why you are not a writer. My grammar is deplorable. My command of the English language is second rate.Continue reading “Last day of poetry month”

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 28 Court days were always grueling. At this moment, he would rather be going over military accounts. Since the kingdom was growing, he now had two court days every 30 days. Two! He was working with Frego to take on the second day. People bickering all the time, usually over petty issues. Kol saidContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Crazy kinda rain
Let me tell you what your crazy friend just did. I have a brand new pair of memory foam flip flops. I leave them at work so I have comfortable shoes to walk in when I can go. On those days when the heat isn’t overpowering nor the humidity oppressive. I wore them out toContinue reading “Crazy kinda rain”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 27 Kol had walked over to work with General Marcus. It was time to work on treasury accounts for the military again. It was long and boring. Not that he didn’t like his city or his people being protected; seems like all he did was look at sets of numbers. She was the lastContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Country Chicken
Part 2 of 2 Last night, she came flapping around and ran me from my sleep. The noise. “Bawk. Bawk!” After some time (the moon getting higher in the night sky), I finally found a spot. High in the barn by a big open space. As I drifted off to sleep, a squeak woke me.Continue reading “Country Chicken”

Aja Part 2 Frego sat down in front of Max at dinner. A woman was sitting beside him with a baby. “May I join you?” Frego waved his hand across his plate. “Yes, of course.” Max lowered his glance. “Lilly, this is Frego.” He smiled pointing at the baby, “Aja.” “Aja?” He questioned. She blushed.Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
What the?!
As I’m sitting at the red light on my way home, half of my dashboard lights go out and a little car appears with a wrench in the middle of it. What the?! This is a new light and I immediately jump head first down the rabbit hole. There is something wrong with my car.Continue reading “What the?!”
Once there was Darkness
Aja Part 1 Kessa was walking the palace grounds. The army had been there laying the ground work for gas. “How many soldiers would have still joined if they would have known they’d be doing this?” Max pointed at the ground. She smiled, “all of them.” A hearty laugh escaped him. “Anything amiss?” “Not yet.Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Country Chicken
Part 1 of 2 Hi, I’m Connie. That’s what the farmer calls me when he pats my head. I consider myself a country chicken. My life’s pretty calm. Eat, lay eggs, walk about the yard pecking at bugs. Come to think of it, life’s pretty amazing. Every now and then we get some excitement. MyContinue reading “Country Chicken”
Wal-Mart shopping trip
I went to Wal-Mart for work. You should have seen the looks. I got ‘the looks.’ 😂 Those looks that say, ‘where did she get all her money? Is she shopping for Cox’s army? I bet she’s got 5 kids at home and is spending that tax money. Was there a run on toilet paper?’Continue reading “Wal-Mart shopping trip”
