Searching for the Happy

We see it all around In print ads and on TV Just chew the right gum And you too, can be happy. But work is work And life is hard It doesn’t make me happy To mow my yard.

Stars tremble in the night sky frozen black by a winter attack. They shiver at the thought of falling only to crash onto the hard frozen ground and die not leaving a sound. The big dipper circles, all the ponds hard clad offer no fill, on the hill the waterfall is still. Icy fisted January clenches... Sign in to see full entry.

Linear poetry

I don’t know what that means, linear poetry. It’s just a thought that came to me, afloat on a mysterious sea, you see?

Fast! The revolution has begun.

I have been. I have seen. People in a turmoil. People looking mean. Restless the crowd roils ‘round a tattered flag made of fast food bags. And no one seems to notice. The news spreads in an instant.

For the times.

Searching far and wide for the perfect gift. Something useful, unique and thoughtful, just right but not... Sign in to see full entry.

The last day of fall

Autumn sun drags lazily over the horizon, energy level lower now, barely chases the nights chill and the leaves tremble, paling at winters icy promise. One last tumbling ride on the breeze they crash land, their dying whispers, reminders of balmy summer. A reluctant figure shuffles across the lawn... Sign in to see full entry.
