Written about no one in particular. If you know her send her a get well card....





The window to her soul

Was shuttered tight and barred

Hell's front entryway -
Bright relentless searing heat.
Texas in August.

Foamy white above,
Bubbly liquid gold below.
This beer gives good head.

Strange things happen here,
Like noises that don't belong
To this world. Hi, Mom!

You left me behind
But I still feel you out there.
I really miss you.

The trees have tresses;
A curtain outside my door.
Cascading ivy.

Neil Young, Ryman Auditorium, June 2nd, 2010

A burning, bright day retreated suddenly at the advance of a summer

squall in Nashville last Wednesday. Threatening skies churned out a

torrent of rain, pouring down in sheets on the downtown area. Outside

the Ryman Auditorium, an unsuspecting crowd scattered in all

directions, seeking shelter beneath the awning of a parking garage and

nearby buildings. For a brief moment, the streams washing down 4th

Avenue were… Continue

When Did I Become Such A Prude?

For those of you who aren't aware, I am a romance novelist. A novel concept considering I've been out of the romance/relationship and particularly dating arena for quite a few years. My last first date was actually in 1992. So, after reviewing my first (yet to be published) novel I questioned its authenticity or realistic value. I sat my 25 year old daughter down for a few questions.

"Okay," I queried. "What's the rule for a call back after the…

Starting School



'Starting School'



When I began the first grade mom would take me to Brooks Clothiers downtown to buy my t-shirts, underwear and my red label Farrah 'husky' jeans. Then off

to TG and Y next door to get pencils, my Big Chief tablet, and

crayolas. Oh and then around the corner…

No problems here OWW!

I like this one. I think I'll do it again.

Smooth sultry words spill from those lips. So tantalizing is the mixture of such melodious sounds coming from an awkward cowboy. Those slim beautiful fingers strum the guitar like it's home. . Sweet sounds of gospel are always close at hand. Daydreams wisp by of ponies and penguins. Makes you wish for one brief moment that you were from Texas.

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge: Here's lookin' at you

He held her hand as hard as he could, knowing that all his strength now was but a feeble echo of what it used to be. He realized that his grip was not to keep himself here but to keep her from going, to make her stay and listen.



"Promise me," he whispered. "Promise me that you won't stop them from taking this shell." He stopped speaking to try to pull enough air into his weakened lungs to finish. "This shell I'm in now," he continued. "Fucked over by that damned disease and then by the… Continue

Long black hair. Motown, Carole King influence. Peter Paul and Mary had three dogs one night. One sweaty Christmas in the Fifth dimension. God I miss her.

The beauty of his voice is that it is not pitch perfect. What clever entertaining ditties he creates. He sings of woman , life, cars, and guitars. He may even throw in a Tiki Bar.You hear his words come out of some of the worlds greats. They wish they had his mad writing skills.
