Happy Birthday America! Earlier this week I was reading a couple of different books of poetry. One is titled Committed To Memory and the other is a volume of American poetry. In the first book is a poem all Americans have heard and most remember a line or two from it,...
Hello my Lunatics! Tonight I will begin to update the blog. I want to change the overall appearance and characteristics, as well as how it operates. I’ve been very happy here at WordPress, but I’m trying to look at the future of my blog and its growth potential. I want to...
Happy Monday everyone! I can’t believe how quickly June has gone by. I’m so glad. Summer used to always feel never-ending to me when I was in school. The days seemed to drag on until the day we have a pack on our backs and new school supplies in them. Actually,...
Alright. It’ s Monday, and though I’m running behind today, I am at least here and getting a post out to you. Things have been a bit on the busy side lately but hopefully things will slow down after the 22nd. Today’s poem is one I wrote last month. It’s about...
I’m taking some time out right now to go ahead and get a post in for you today. I’ve still got quite a bit to do before I go to bed tonight, and I’m still not packed because I have to get my own laundry done instead of the kids’, who...

Today a legend has left us. The lady who taught me that poetry is more than just written words, that they have to be spoken as well, my hero, the great Maya Angelou has passed away. I am heart-broken, almost literally. This great lady taught me so much in her writing,...
Since today is Memorial Day here in the U.S., I thought I’d share a poem I wrote in 2003 before the 2nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. We were all affected by that day. Two years later it was still fresh in my mind. So, I sat down and...
