About 15% of this actually occurred. We were in St. Louis and our Uber driver, who was really very nice, told some tall tales! Thanks to @written-tales.bsky.social for featuring!

Some words make the cut. Some words don't. Thrilled to see my poetry featured on @written-tales.bsky.social

"a gripping short fiction about a tense reunion in the rain, where every glance and every empty chair carries the weight of unspoken history. A masterclass in subtle emotional suspense." I'm excited to have my short story featured in Written Tales magazine.

To dream, to dare to defy this fragile balance this whisper of love this dear peril, life #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips

Very cool

sloshin' around in a blow-up pool jumping in puddles walking barefoot in an ice-cold stream holding hands in the rain skinny-dipping in the lake huffing'n'puffing in the warm sweat of making love I gotta get back to when "wet" meant "alive". #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips

Every poet and priest and prophet rattled, Each tortured soul and soldier embattled. I am the breath-hold of your fright I am the fear in the night. #WIPSnips #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity

My poem "Floating through Eden" featured on Substack Written Tales It's a short poem, please give it a read and I'd appreciate a "like" and would love a repost. I will return the favor. Thank you

Inspiration can come from the most mundane things. 3 minutes to get hot water brings out my inner Holden Caulfield. I'm not kidding. It really does! 😉 #writing #writingcommunity #poetry #poems

"With Colours Gone"

My poem "Love is the Storm" featured today in Written Tales Poetry Magazine and on Substack writtentales.substack.com/p/love-is-th...

Woke up and I'm singing this to myself. Seems like the perfect way to start my day

inspiration can come from the most mundane things. Not getting hot water for about 3 minutes brought out the Holden Caulfield in me. I'm not kidding. It really did. 😉

What keeps you up in the night?

Oh, the horror! A poem with a rhyming pattern! 😱 The last verse of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening " The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. - Robert Frost (1874–1963)

Ahh, spring has sprung. "A future, then, of warmth and runoff, and old faces surprised to see us. A cache of love, I’d call it, opened up, vernal, refreshed." -closing lines from "Runoff" by Sydney Burris

from Poet and Planter (1923) :— Fool, the poems of the earth Come with every spring afresh!— Harvest's eaten . . . what's the worth? More unlovely flesh? Orrick Johns 1887-1946

The Two Red Chairs 2B published in April in Written Tales Magazine on Substack www.writerscafe.org/writing/njc/...
