For the first time in awhile, I wrote a poem I posted on Windchimesandstars.com that wasn't a prose poem! I still remember how, believe it or not. I have fallen in love with the surreal prose poem. But sometimes I thirst for white space. I want to experiment with it and let it set the … Continue reading Writing Free Verse

Snarls Through Snaggled Teeth
In the crinkling dawn, death yawns. Another day, another disembodied body. I tell him to get off my back porch, and I chase him with my own scythe painted dayglo orange. He's been drinking and smoking joints on my patio all night. Angels sew the fields with tempestuous flowers, hauling bright colors and soft textures … Continue reading Snarls Through Snaggled Teeth
An Idea
Is anyone doing interesting play with typography in poems? By which I mean using typography as a tool to create a visual landscape of emotion? I've had this idea before, but right now I'm reading some typography books and it has brought the idea to mind again. I adore the way the appearance of the … Continue reading An Idea
Autobiography in Colors
I was 11. I had a neon orange shirt from The Limited Too and dayglo orange shorts from the same trendy tween store, and I paired them together. I was aware this was an unusual fashion choice, but my goal was to inhabit, inbibe, imbue myself with, and commune with the essense of orange and … Continue reading Autobiography in Colors
Pink Research
I am reading Pink: The History of a Color. To my dismay, I found, that at least in the west, it often polls as people's least favorite color or one of them. And that it has an association with some nasty things. But I ADORE pink. Especially pink and yellow. So how do I approach … Continue reading Pink Research

This virus or whatever is knocking me on my butt. Luckily I cooked a 4 cheese macaroni before I got really sick, … Continue reading Full Blown Cold or Something
A Little Poem – My Novella
The eccentric novella brewing and screwing her way through the sizzling synapses across my brain is hard to catch. Pick up your plot and follow me! The sun over my house judges my unproductive, polychromatic day. Language was my first love. I try to harness my words as the sparkle defiantly, trying to escape the … Continue reading A Little Poem – My Novella
Quiet Couple of Weeks
A is having a birthday party next weekend! We're giving the kids pizza, cake, and ice cream. I really hope she has a great time and that all the kids can come. I've been exhausted. The house is pretty much where I want it, except for a couple of boxes. Everything is clean. Now, it's … Continue reading Quiet Couple of Weeks
My Poetry Comes in Fits and Starts
I have been doing poorly. My bandwidth is low. Tonight, after reading a little for inspiration, I wrote a few poems. I'm not sure I'm happy with them or that they'll get to the point where I am happy with them. But just writing for a few minutes had to be good for me. Physically, … Continue reading My Poetry Comes in Fits and Starts
Books Galore
Our kitchen stuff has arrived! We'll unpack this weekend. Happy 4th! Molly is settling in well. We hope to see the fireworks from our house. We'll see if that's possible. Yesterday I spent more than an hour on Kindle choosing book samples to download. I must have downloaded at least 30! Some samples I have … Continue reading Books Galore
