What Gives You The Right
My rambling thoughts...What gives you the right to assume I’m DTF? That’s Down To… Well, you can look it up. I assure you I’m not. Perhaps after some time, some long time, and a bonding friendship built of courting and a heavy dose of flirting. Yes, I said courting. People don’...

Save Their Innocence: A Musing
A musing about the violent events of 2018 in America...“Somebody!” “Please!” “Please, somebody!” The screams fill my ears as I watch the news video play out.

Standing here and knowing that we are all flawed and at times seem to be stuck with the things we aren’t proud of, along with the decisions that we have made that turn into those thoughts that torture our dreams and seem to cripple our souls. There times...

The melancholy beauty of the fallThe olives and the ochres of withered blades,Of conkers and hazel all through the gladeDark evenings, too soon the clock going back,Squirrels secreting their nutty snacksA ring of fairies dancing on the lawn,Appearing in the early dawn The cool breeze br...
