Mostly this is a response to Stevie’s ‘What Inspires Me To Write?‘, because I didn’t know what I wanted to post today. Please bear with me while I ramble… Continue reading “Inspiration: A Conversation”

I begin this post by scowling at… shouting at… giving a shout out to Stevie D who nominated me for this thing. I am thrilled. 😉 Continue reading “Blogger Recognition”
Haiku Sunday – Unity – JG
- So haikus aren’t really my bag; generally, writing one makes me feel as though I have left too much unspoken, but I figured on this anniversary I’ll take a page from Stevie’s book and try my pen at subtle and poignant. Wish me luck:
Unity in pain
Time passed, we revert back
Nothing’s forever Continue reading “Haiku Sunday – Unity – JG”
I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane, Don’t Know When I’ll Be Back Again
This has been a strange month. I went on a five day vacation only to decide to move to Colorado for the foreseeable future, and because I can do nothing by halves, this of course meant I began planning to move immediately. To the apparent dismay of family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and people I sort of recognize by drink order only, the whole transition has taken less than a single strange month. Continue reading “I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane, Don’t Know When I’ll Be Back Again”
What Are Rights? Rebuttal AKA Your Vacuum Missed a Spot to the Right
Dear Stevie,
I’m a big fan of the late great George Carlin, too, although you definitely got into his stand up way earlier in life than I did. I would estimate that I didn’t know who he was until high school, perhaps only really watching and enjoying his act somewhere in my earlier twenties. I’ll freely admit it: he stands tall amongst my heroes, joined by fellow charismatic storytellers like Kurt Vonnegut and Joss Whedon, so I’m a little butthurt at your deconstructing his wisdom.

July 15 Theme: Apathetic Dejection
Welcome to week five of our Seven Deadly Sins series! Our foray into the theme of Envy produced what are probably three of the least similar interpretations yet. This week’s theme may inspire even more disparate submissions!
Free Verse – Envy – SD
Burning Soul IV
This world is caving in, I don’t think I’ll last
Cretins surround me, trying to throw me off the path
And you’re no help, I don’t know what to think
When you tease and you pry, seducing me to sink Continue reading “Free Verse – Envy – SD”
July 8 Theme: The Color of Jealousy?
We are now reaching sin number four in our seven-part, seven-week poetry series featuring the Seven Deadly Sins! We also had two guest submissions for the first time, which is always exciting. Three of the poems spoke directly about food, with one other focusing on the material side of gluttony. Continue reading “July 8 Theme: The Color of Jealousy?”
Free Verse – Gluttony – SD
Burning Soul III
Can’t you see our way of life is dying?
Are you blinded to the strip malls crumbling,
Soon to be replaced by — nothing? Continue reading “Free Verse – Gluttony – SD”
July 1 Theme: Gluttonous Appetites
Welcome to week 3 of the Seven Deadly Sins series! Last week’s contributions to the theme of Lust proved to come from completely different directions once again. Who knew that one theme could cover the birth of a child, a hunting predator, and the physical connection between people in one shot? Continue reading “July 1 Theme: Gluttonous Appetites”
