out of the journal springs a poet dos

my last blog focused on rejecting one's dreams and desires. and yes, it was a downer! BUT, while i was writing my assignment for Lillian Gaffney, all of the negative stuff came out as poetry, so i was really happy about that!



the second part of the assignment was to write about acceptance. as it should be, it's an upper, and poetry!…

Smaller summer vehicles.
Skateboards, bicycles.

Memory Collector









Many people collect things, from paintings, to baseball cards, right down to magnets.



I collect memories. Maybe you do too.



We don’t have to shell out much money for those, although some have cost more than others. The limit is the moon. I’ve been chasing down memories for years, and they are now sitting on porches,watching the sun rise. And I’m thrilled they are remembering, lest I forget. …

The smoke of hatred
Often covers its true source:
A smoldering fear.

Julie, Julia, Love, Creativity, and Butter

Julie, Julia, Love, Creativity, and Butter







I know that I’m the last person in America to see the movie “Julie and Julia”, but I finally saw it today. And I haven’t been this happy about a movie in a long time. I just had to talk about it.



It is so rare to see a movie that tells the story of real people, but it seems that women are particularly stereotyped… Continue

Sometimes colors fade

DiJoseph's More-Than-a Piano Blog 7-17-10

Now if you came here expecting to here more about the "Dan's" (MTAP blog 1) there will be a delay.

Albeit a worthy one. I need to mention that I showed symptoms of Tourettes Syndrome way back at...age 7. One year before the Magnus organ ... same year I started drum lessons (CORRECTION here: started drum lessons at age 7 not 5...) Kind-of a blue-plate special: "one order of musical drive with a heaping side order of Tourette's please!"



In the April 13, 2010 edition of the… Continue

Needs to be beneficial
To be worth doing.

Goals, Dreams, & other such things





Anyone who knows me or has even paid any real attention to my posts on here knows that I want to move to Appleton and A.S.A.P. In the beginning, my decision to do this was made because I want what is best for my son. And that is still true, always will be. HE COMES BEFORE ANYONE! But more and more, I find myself wanting this move/change for myself as well. I don't want it because I wish to run away from anything or anyone. The past can follow you no…

You can't see the hurt.
The pain is invisible.
Wounded hearts don't show.

Is this Any Way to Run A Business? Yeah, I Guess So......



'Is This the Way to Run A Business?'

The evolution of clerks in the mainstream American marketplace is a continuing mystery to me.

I used to feel at least a little bit important to the businesses I frequented. As if I mattered somehow to them.



That's still the case in a few places but more and more it's blatantly obvious that they don't care if I live or die just as long as they can collect my money and get me quickly out of their way. In fact, they often act as if… Continue

A Confused Gardener Contemplates Planting by the Phases of the Moon

New moon, dark moon,

will my plants

blossom & bloom

if planted in mid-June?

Slim chance

(good cowboy name),

all the same,

give it a try,

they'll live or they'll die.

out of the journal springs a poet

in my work with Lillian, i recently journaled about my personal experience with rejection. before i knew it, i was rhyming. ;) i love poetry, prose, and music, so when this poem came flowing out i was pleased. writing poetry is fun!




Reflection upon Rejection


She rejected her own hearts desires.
Not completely, just in ten year increments.
She silenced all her hopes and dreams,
the plan of others to…
