Revised: An Empty Love Letter

I just revised this poem. I revised it because after reading it with fresh eyes I realized that it needed something else, it needed a facelift, a poetic facelift. I am going to try and practice what I learned at The Martha's Vineyard Institute of CreativeWriting. I was fortunate enough to attend this program a…

The Poet & Writer

I want to be a poet, so I say "I am a poet." I want to be a writer, so I say "I am a writer." I have these tales in my head I write them down. I have these poems I place in this dumping ground. They're rough draft versions that need much work.…

I forgot it was Monday and that I should be sharing some music. In the spirit of this weekend-here are my choices. Notice the recurring theme! Because I am a queen that thing goes on-and-on. https://youtu.be/Mq86e4Fhja0 https://youtu.be/T6QKqFPRZSA https://youtu.be/-CPCs7vVz6s

Let’s Share: Maledicus

I recently finished reading Maledicus Charles French's first novel. A work of speculative fiction that is more of a love story within the borders of a horror story.

Life Passes By

Life passes by On that string of time Waiting for the fateful day When that string is snipped. The flickering light Blown out in the night. Hence- We reminisce, Celebrate the quirks, Share those memories. Remember, recall and rejoice- Celebrate the life of the one you call friend. Mourn for a time But don’t be…

Let’s Share: Doc Chuck

Here is another one of those men I speak about in my Ode to the Old Men. Doc Chuck is a muse of sorts walking around creating inspiration. He has a way of teaching a person how to find their voice and bring it forth. He is my professor, adviser, mentor and friend. He steers…
