    2025-03-17 Tides of March ☘️ Part 1

    A few days ago it was the Ides of March and I didn’t even remember or notice. How could I when the whole week had gone horribly wrong. It was a real roller coaster of migraine and neck pain and emotional turmoil. I’d barely crawled out of one hole just to find I was in…

    2024-07-01 A Peek Behind the Curtain of Creation

    No… not another origin story for some superhero or where life on planet Earth started. This is an “Account” of where my poems originate. “Account” is the name of one publication I’m interested in submitting work to. Their unique spin in the literary world is that they ask for (and publish) a separate document explaining…

    2024-05-04 May the 4th Be With You

    And with you and you, and with us all, my friends.  It’s as good of a day as any to chase that new shiny. For those who have been following along for 14 years or the last 7 years or only the past month. I’ve been hunting answers to existential questions disguised as simple musings…

    2024-05-01 Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin…

    Welcome to May. May 1st. Mayday, May poles, and May baskets for those who believe in the magic of history and tradition.  Mayday is probably one of those historical traditions that was lost with my parent’s generation. I have vague memories of it from my childhood, putting together baskets and leaving them on doorsteps of…

    2024-04-12 What it Means to be Seen and Heard…

    I need to tell someone. But I don’t have anyone to tell. A therapist might say this need comes from my childhood when I was mostly ignored by my parents. I was a child doing a thing a child thought was the right thing to do – be seen and not heard. Turns out, I…

    2024-03-14 When the Veil is Lifted…

    Truths are revealed.  I haven’t written in a while, so today (for the 280th time), I’m writing about writing. Or rather, why I haven’t been writing. First I need to back up a smidge and speak frankly about the “veil” I’ve referred to in the title of this post.  I think that sometimes we all…

    2024-02-11 I just thought you should know…

    As I drive in my car, north on I-29 from Kansas City to Omaha Nebraska, my home, I’m thinking about how I still have not yet wrapped my head around the fact that it is 2024. Yet, here we are, already it’s February, and already AWP 2024 is in the rearview.  It was my second…
