Tall Glass Windows
Tyson might have been the last of them, an Eighties killer who captured our hearts for a time, but it ended ugly, and it was the darker parts of our hearts which were touched, awe mixed with fear, sprinkled with hate– something primal, a shining-sweat mingling of pride and shame. There were a few after: […]
Beyond Horizon Fall
Firstly, if that’s a word, she doesn’t want your money. All proceeds from sales of this book benefit the fight against addiction, starting with Kids Caring Foundation and Stand up to Addiction. A friend wrote this book of her struggle, and as importantly, the struggle her daughter faced in overcoming heroin addiction. On a decidedly […]
poetry of music
Don’t you lock up something that you wanted to see fly. This guy gets it. Great cover of a timeless song. He made it his own. I know this is a poetry blog, peppered with other silly nonsense that I might write, but I’ve found myself thinking lately on the impotence of poetry in comparison […]
anyway, enough about me..
I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of. Charles wrote this as part of his piece, ‘an almost made up poem’. You can find the entire poem at the link below, as well as some detailed thoughts by a fellow wordpress blogger. I can […]
Colorful Character
“You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jellybeans.” ~Ronald Reagan I eat the red jellybeans first. After all the red jellybeans have been greedily devoured, even if small children must be shoved aside or tricked to secure them all, I then seek the red-derived jellybeans, the pinks, and […]
Nothing to Talk About
It’s been nearly forty-five years since I was spawned. They pulled me out of a yawning, bloody hole in my mother’s stomach; she likely still has the scar. I suppose it’s time for a mid-life crisis or two. Maybe several, each a spectacular, fiery display of futility. All I’ve done in the way of rebellion […]
Barking at Shadows
Writing is just talking. There’s nothing to it, really. We all talk, at least sometimes. We all have something to say, at least sometimes. To take it further, we all have something interesting to say, at least once in a while. The rest of the times might just be our own silence, which is just […]
Twitter Twitterings
In my twitching early-morning compulsion to connect on Social Media, as has been recommended by the swami-hat marketing gurus, I’d decided to look at Twitter again. I never did quite figure it out, and even the name, ‘Twitter’, I find distracting, as it conjures images of restless, squabbling blue birds with no eyes, fluttering out […]
Bushman Phenomenon : Hair Troubles
Hair. Most people have some, if not on their head, then surely elsewhere, although then it becomes a private matter. As my hair became more sparse, partly in response to parenthood, which gives even hair follicles suicidal tendencies, I decided to keep mine short. My thinning hair looks less noticeable now. I look just like […]
You say Liebster, I say Lobster.
Dancing with Fireflies and wwwpalfitness both nominated me for a Lobster Award, and because I like them both, I won’t even comment on their misspelling of ‘Lobster’, both having spelled it as ‘Liebster’. WordPress is an inclusive, supportive, and forgiving community. If it weren’t, I’d have been chased out with pointy sticks on my […]
