Creative Writing Challenge #18-"The person who has made the biggest difference in how I view the holidays has been..."
Our dad was a big fan of Christmas, which didn't make much sense to me when I considered his poverty level childhood. But now, in hindsight, I can see what the holiday really meant for him. And I have my sister to thank for that.
Daddy's mother, my grandmother Maggie, spent all year making quilts and toys out of her fabric scraps and those pink or blue dry cleaning… Continue

With his momma's severed head in a bag

Song; Don't Let It Snow Blues
Don't Let It Snow Blues
1) Punxatawny Phil didn’t see his shadow
So he predicted an early spring
Been freezing and snowing since last December
That groundhog doesn’t know a thing
Chorus
I shovel on Sunday, but more falls on Monday
When will this misery end?
We get a break for a day or two
Then the snow starts falling again
2) The Farmer’s Almanac used to be on target
And I believed what I…

Granny looked funny
Layin' there in the snow
I don't think she ended up
Where she really wanted to go
When she stepped down the stairs
To feed the kitty cats
She tripped over my snowman
And fell on her face-
'Kersplat!'........
I was laughin' so hard
I couldn't stop
Watchin' granny roll around
With the snowman on top
The cats got scared
And jumped into… Continue

Shiver : Haiku stuck on the fridge
Between rain and sun
Skin shivers with the thunder
Of her sleeping breath.

"Some Things" - by my brother, Richard T. Krause
"Some things drift away in the wind, everyone watching it in awe.
Some things drift away in the water, everyone looking in wonder.
And some things, well some things stay put to be seen and never forgotten."
- Richard T. Krause

And then, just like that,
Haiku a day was over.
The year passed quickly.

Edge of Eve
There's a hill where I watch the sunset
A golden sky beyond the trees
A bird that takes flight through air…

My Old Dog
I said good bye to an old friend last week. My dog Allie. A mutt with a crippled foot, sort of a long haired dachshund but not quite. She found me in downtown Cushing nearly 11 years ago and I took her home with me. She added much to my life that I have yet to fully fathom.
One week after taking her home I had a heart attack and in the ensuing weeks and months while Karen was working herself to death to nurse me back to health and keep the house and business afloat, this… Continue

I know because when she laughs
She creates music.

Talking to one another...
My stomach hurts.
For better or worse, I am an emotional being. Are you familiar with the color gels used on stage lights? Those films placed over plain ol' white lights to create different colors on a stage? Emotions are the gels through which pretty much every thing comes to me or leaves from me.
Most of the time I'm alright with this. Others are too. Many… Continue
