  • The Great Pretender – A Daily Post Sonnet

    The Great Pretender A knock sounded, he donned his father’s cloak, pulled the cowl down to shadow features six and ten years younger than the man the bloke came to fetch. He smiled at the simple fix, waved to his sleeping father who needed rest not another stupid meeting with fools. They saw his glowing eyes, assumed the… Read more

  • Light Your World

    Light Your World I light a candle for those who’ve died, hold it ‘gainst the night’s dark, lift it to shed light on grieving faces and spaces that told of losses never replaced. Hold your light, hold it tight, lift it high and light your world. Chase shadows from corners and burn out hate, set… Read more

    Not Quite a Review – Writing 101 #12

    Not Quite a Review: Quantum Computing the Ultimate Question It uses qubits not bits to encode information; quantum entanglement done the right way makes it work; error codes keep it from crashing but any movement could disrupt entanglement, damage code, ’cause your qubits lose communication and data, thus killing calculations. No answer to the ultimate question: life, the universe, everything–that… Read more

  • One More Time – A Daily Post Sonnet

    One More Time – A Daily Post Sonnet

    One More Time One more time, once more around the dance floor. A second chance for heartfelt words to linger. One more time, for three words to open doors. Sung so eloquently by the singer. One more time, a meeting made and we’ll meet by candlelight and dinner where two hearts in their separate cages beat;… Read more

  • Missing Peace

    Missing Peace

    Missing Peace “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, don’t you fear,” said the pastor quoting words so true. Peace He left but peace the world never got not when hating hearts lift guns, spray bullets.… Read more

    If we were having coffee… Writing 101 #11

    Coffee Break If we were having coffee…I’d sip tea. Any fruity, herbal, variety will do. I’d tell you I’m working on three things: editing, writing and poetry. If we were having coffee…I’d sip tea, maybe cinnamon with some stevia. I would tell you that editing may be the toughest thing I’ve tackled since trivia. If we were… Read more

  • Belong

    Belong

    Belong Out of place and time, anachronism am I? Nowhere do I belong; nowhere to call my own. No time for criticism; no advice given because what is there to say? Does anyone truly belong anywhere? Or do we all long for some place to fit? Like puzzle pieces that long to reconnect to form a whole? Is… Read more

    POETRY 101 REHAB: MISSING

    Missing “Head injury…might have amnesia…” The healer’s words still echoed scaring Ran, where he lay curled, fearing amnesia would take Papa away, like the bad man had tried to do. Holding his stuffed bear tight, he listened to Papa’s quiet breathing, willing him to wake, smile at the sight of his son. But unconsciousness’ plaything, Papa remained. Ran’s tears… Read more

  • Hate to Love: Dessert

    Hate to Love: Dessert

    Dessert Connoisseurs For breakfast and dinner, I eat dessert. That’s my guilty secret. Don’t tell a soul; I belong to a secret club. Dessert Connoisseurs it’s called. We use doughnut holes to get around, bet you didn’t know they warp space time. Just pop on through. Let physics rue the baker. His oven mangles the warp and weft of… Read more

  • Truth Slingers

    Truth Slingers

    Truth Slingers They sling truth from their quick hands, deal out facts, burn lies with their laser glare. A gesture kills bullshit, withers sales pitches, attacks deceit, slander–no matter its vesture. Their armor is truth and they shine a light to chase away shadows, banish darkness. Their presence reveals all secrets, ignites a fire that purifies, leaving kindness in their wake.… Read more
