Well, the weather this week has been really nice (up the Albany way in New York) and consistently so, which is even nicer, and has made the ride homes from work an open windowed joy (no, I don’t understand any of you I see in traffic with their windows up tight right now, and no,… Continue reading

A quadrille prompt this week from Punam to use the word “alter” in, as the dVerse quadrille calls, a poem of just 44 words.

The Cul-De-Sac (fiction)
This started as a haibun response to a prompt from Merril at dVerse poets this week and began with a remembrance of a time once spent on a Spring break from college to visit a Joanie and where we were, indeed, laid out hand in hand on a blanket in a darkening cul-de-sac whispering the… Continue reading
