Well, I’m a Builder of Bridges
As I sit down to devote myself to writing something intelligent, it is nearly Thanksgiving. I find, for all of the evil that has befallen the world this year, I still have plenty to be thankful for, indeed. I found the love of my life, someone who finally gets me the way I get him. […]
Next Road (Poetry)
Looking in the mirrorWho’s this being I see?I’m pretty sureAt another timeI’d be sure it wasn’t meWhat have I done wrong?And where have I gone right? Where’s the next roadI should take?Life is a highway, they sayAnd I’m looking for my exitBut, ain’t it too earlyTo stop driving nowWhen I haven’t even started? Written 2-7-2005
It’s Never Too Late (Or Too Early) To Start Writing Online
Writing online is a highly competitive game – that’s for sure! But if you think you have something new or unique to bring to the table, it’s never too late (or early) to start! It doesn’t matter how young or old you are! I see writers as young as 12 (and there may be even […]
Lost in Love (Poetry)
Keep this with youNever lose it for meCan’t lose this love Whatever might be When tragedy strikesOnce and againThis cannot endMy best friend Lost in loveWhirled aroundSpun downRound about Dizzy and disoriented Streets that don’t cross Yet go on endlesslyA concrete jungle maze It’s not the last trip By a long shotBut we’ve come upTo a dead stop If […]

In passing, I wonderWhat is lost to the worldWhat was known of youAnd what was notThe balance of what remainsWhat to make of your legacyWill remain an unanswered question To recall at onceAll those times spentThe impressions they leftThis was not the wholeOf you at all, of courseBut, the balance remainsA wonderful mystery A sort […]
Are My Poems Reflections or Distortions of Life?
When I first began making collections for my poetry, it was suggested that I call the collection “Reflections on Life.” I felt like that wouldn’t be the best title to publish my work. I decided instead on “From the Pages of Spiral Notebooks” for my first small collection, since that’s the medium in which my […]
Still Frames (Poetry)
Still frames in my mindCome to vibrant lifeBut the story unravelsAnd I lose focusMadness runs rampantThe comedy falls flatBut these still framesAre so beautiful and sweet A cartoon worldSo over the topTrying to paintThe pretty picturesBut where do I startSo many still framesI can’t choose fromAnd I can’t draw them Too complex and uniqueAre these […]
