Will they help to make me real?
New passport will tell.

"Frog With Wings"

This is a poem which I wrote many long years ago. To give it some context, I have had the frog in question following me around for all of my adult (not grown-up) life and it's orgins were back in my childhood. I was raised in Northern Minnesota not terribly far from where my father grew up. My mother was a southern girl from the state of Virginia and endured the northern climes, but we regularly vacationed in the south and were always surrounded by her large and loving family. My…

The Write Window



IMG_2180copycopysmall.jpg Autumn in Independence, Missouri image by etully

















Ruts in the writing life happen. We grasp our way through a story, do the research, and realize it’s not the one we’re supposed to tell. At least not yet. We bump along in that rut for awhile until a new path

appears, scattered with red and…

Just-sharpened pencils,
A new notebook with paper;
Smells like fresh knowledge.

The road less traveled

Is often a path

No highway signs

No charts of graphs

Sometimes it's with others…

Traveling by train,
Click-clacking across the land
You see a lot more.

Saw nothing wrong with that…

What Lyrics Speaks to Me? Good question.



Did you ever wonder why music touches everyone? I have. No matter how

young, old, or the culture it touches something very primitive in all

of us. Music has the power to make one laugh or cry or come together.

Music is magic. Don't believe me? Just watch a crowd at a concert no

matter the genre. Watch concert goers sing every verse to a ballad or

get swept away deep into a concerto. Watch a teen bop to a booming base

in a car or brood in the bedroom to the… Continue

I need more dream time.
My pillow misses my head.
Is it bedtime yet?

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge #11 - What one lyric speaks to you when nothing else can, and why?



This lyric is a gentle reminder to me that it's ok to be human.



----------



"Sometimes, even music cannot substitute for tears"
- Paul Simon, The Cool, Cool River, Rhythm of the Saints.





The power of music is strong. It's a fact. It's not always clear how or why these sounds affect us so much, but they do. People associate times and… Continue

My Estranged HUSBAND

Yes, I am married to a very strange man. We have not lived together for 2 years. He chooses to live a very different lifestyle. My beloved is truly a gypsy. Even today he is living in a home where he has bought time. In approximately 2 weeks he will be on the street again with 5 dogs and 4 cats. Currently he is living there with no electricity or water. Althought he tells me I'm the one living wrong and working for the MAN! at least I am now living in comfort unlike himself. I love this man and… Continue

One of my favorites...

Small in stature he is a charming ball of energy with the biggest brown eyes you have ever seen.
The eyelashes on those brown eyes are amazingly long. If it were not for such charm and pure talent he probably would not be where he is today. I am sure he is very thankful that he is.

Stuff forgotten until now.

No one really fits.
People have curves, boxes don't.
Don't force me in one.

My brain is tired.
It has decided to quit.
No haiku tonight.
