  • 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

  • Marge & Henry Geese (flash fiction)

    A Prosery challenge at dVerse poets. “… a very short piece of prose or flash fiction that tells a story … It can be in any genre of your choice, but it does have a limit of 144 words; an additional challenge is to hit 144 exactly. The special thing about Prosery is that we… Continue reading

  • So Then Sunday: New Cat Scratcher … Sir?

    Since the end of February I have been dealing with a back issue, a really bad back issue actually, after popping it turning a doorknob at the bottom of a flight of stairs at the old apartment. I know, the simplest of things right? I mean if you’re going to pull your back it should… Continue reading

  • Proud To Be A Charlatan (song)

    So, a good friend, who I will call Bart here to protect the innocent, plus I don’t know his phone # or his address to truly dox him and put his family at risk, mentioned after I just re-posted my Orange Album of Beatles parody tunes from back in 2019 (a pretty damn fine collection… Continue reading

  • The Orange Album – (songs revisit ala the Beatles from ’19)

    I recently re-posted a tune of mine from back in 2019, a version of the Beatles “Fixing a Hole”, back when I was exclusively using Beatles songs to make my points (I haven’t stopped in this regard, I just branched out to different artists, different tunes, but points still have to be made after all,… Continue reading
