These are ongoing things, series and such, this page is always in a state of flux because… well, I am a flux capacitor of a person… anyway, I keep this as updated as possible so you can navigate the corridors of my mind a bit easier (and to your liking)… UPDATE… I will be splitting this page up into links to separate pages for each category… why? because this is a little unwieldy right now… it got out of control rather quickly without me noticing…
World Famous (almost)… Porch Series…
A snapshot, a moment, where I quite literally sit out on my porch and let the world approach me, whatever thoughts spring of this union I share, maybe a poem, maybe a dare, or maybe just my free-form hybrid of prose and poetry, maybe a quote about a tree, this is an on going experiment… give it a chance, take it for a spin, you never know what you may get (even some wisdom now and again).
Lost. Love. Letters…
poems about love lost, specific for me, maybe reflective for you… as our paths may cross in a thought or two…
