Writers Don’t Just Sit and Type on the Computer All Day in Their PJ’s!
Today’s web writing myth does have a bit of truth to it. But, don’t most myths emerge from specks of truth? Certainly, I’ve done a great deal of my writing while wearing a ratchet old t-shirt and sweatpants or shorts. Those are essentially my PJ’s. However, that’s not what web writers do. We don’t just […]
Number One (Poetry)
The first time I heard you Your voice really got to me The words were such nonsense Yet I still put it on repeat When you hit number one The obsession had just begun You didn’t even know what You’d really just won No one hit wonder Your voice tore me asunder You’re still my […]
We’re All in This Together – Be Love & Spread Love!
Let me tell ya sumthin’: When life kicks you in the ass and leaves you in the mud, and people walk by and laugh and joke, pick yourself up and just smile and go on spreading love. That’s the only way to fight hate, ignorance, and selfishness. It’s the hard road a lot of times, […]
Even Flow (Poetry)
Let the light flow Let the darkness go Find it within you That even flow I take up my cross Splintered and worn Only By His Grace I’ve been reborn The light inside Was so compromised But Jesus Christ Exposed the lies Even flow Expose your sin Let it show This facade is now Wearing […]

Bits and Bobs, Odds and Ends
A writer’s life is full of things that simply don’t fit together. There are sentences that sound beautifully crafted on their own. But, when they’re put into an essay or work of fiction, they simply don’t work. I’ve constructed some very fine phrases that when strung together painted a fascinating picture. But, I then found […]
Saturnine (Poetry)
“Saturnine” is a poem written around the various definitions of the title word of the poem, Saturnine. Oh, who is this unsmiling face? Where once there was a happy place Somber tones, brooding expressions, Now leave a gloomy impression This melancholy state in which you’re in must make a sudden switch So humorless now, but […]
