  • Game of Furniture

    An old friend of mine, Chuck (as opposed to a young friend of mine, there are some of those but they just annoy me with their blase youngness … “oh, look at me … I’m young – La De Da De Da”. Seriously? Hate you) … ok … reset … A friend of mine, Chuck,… Continue reading

  • An Unexpected But Welcome Reunion

    Earlier this week, Wednesday, I actually went out and did a “thing’. I know, I went “out”, whodathunk? With people, actual human beings involved. For those that know me that is pretty big. I don’t do things, I don’t go out, I don’t step, but I am the host of the Scholastic Athlete of the… Continue reading

  • Are All Accounted For In the Moon? (into dream) – (poem)

    So returning to the art of Catrin Welz-Stein in a latest prompt at dVerse Poets, four paintings to choose from and then write away as you will on one or more. Are All Accounted For In the Moon? (to dream) The Captain called us all aboard at eyes shut wide Déjà vu? aboard captain, again… Continue reading

  • Headstone (flash fiction)

    Another prosery challenge at dVerse Poets. Their prosery? A very short piece of poetry or flash fiction that tells a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It can be any genre you choose, but it does have a limit of 144 words. Somewhere within your story, you must include given lines without… Continue reading

  • Pumping Gas In Antioch

    There are many things that can bring us together, when things are rough in the world, seem out of hand, things we may share, things that can put us on page with a complete stranger A favorite sports team maybe, in a parking lot before a game through the haze of grill smoke and beer… Continue reading

  • Trains Pass (poem)

    When seeing this prompt from Bjorn at dVerse Poets “Today I want you to use Onomatopoeia in your poem, to strengthen the imagery through its sound” I thought back to a poem I had written a number of years ago (2016) that had use of such, though briefly, and that I included as part of… Continue reading

  • Trumpty Dance (song)

    I was a little up in the air about this one, thinking maybe it wasn’t quite up to par, after 6 years and dozens upon dozens of these tunes I do have a bar, but I thought about how much I work on these, how important it is for me to make my points about… Continue reading

  • A Village Of Box (poem – cento)

    So Tuesday’s dVerse Poets prompt, “April Poems Bring May Centos”, was of two possibilities. Choose any line from any poem from those provided and write a poem including the line or inspired by it or, you could instead, try your hand at a “cento” (a poetic work wholly composed of verses or passages taken from… Continue reading

  • Cigar Box

    Early last month there was a prompt at dVerse poets that talked of boxes and to write something of such. The idea has been sitting with me, what box might I have that holds thoughts, things, ideas, history? Now I am envious of all my new found friends at the dVerse site that can word… Continue reading

  • Gonna Wanna Rule Somebody (song)

    Earlier this week I was searching YouTube for something from a tribute band for a show of theirs coming up around here that I could use for building a commercial and Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” was on the YouTube page. Don’t know why (maybe the YouTube gods were trying to tell me something) but it… Continue reading
