Ever seen a person wearing a t-shirt with something on it that just wanted you to ask him/her: "Really?"
Well, I wrote a poem on just that. Take a look.

Now

 In my latest poem, Now, I work through the realization point in the healing process from a painful past. The imagery is quick and rhythmically catchy, but it wasn't until I looked at the first 2/3rd's of the poem (which was, by the way, written on an index card at my kitchen sink at about 12:30 a.m.) that I realized the pattern was so much deeper then just the rhyming. And it's that realization which finishes out the poem, and thus, the title.

Nathaniel Hawthorne & The Slavery Issue

Nathaniel Hawthorne was better known for his novels (The Scarlet Letter) & short stories relating to Puritan lifestyles and religious beliefs. However, the issue of slavery was a hot political topic during his lifetime as well.

In this article, I discuss how he takes issue with both sides of the debate in his short story The Maypole of Merry Mount.

Poetry: Who You Are to Me

For Father's Day, I decided to do something a bit more personal than previous years. I wrote a poem for my Dad.

I entitled it Who You Are to Me

Father,
You are to me...
~ my spiritual adviser
~ a lap to crawl up in
~ my encouragement
~ a handy-man.

That's just a taste. Read the rest of my tribute to my dad here.

A Mullica Dialogue

A Mullica Dialogue

Here's a funny, play on words conversation.

Squirrel: Hey, man. Did you drive with the windows down again?

Mudflap: Huh? Why you say that?

Squirrel: Cause your flaps are muddy! (laughs)

Mudflap: Oh, nah. Wife had me sleeping with the pigs last night.
