Bravo for that strong, uplifting last verse. I applauded the sentiment. Take charge of your voice, express yourself and do not give a care for those who wish to silence you.
Every writer must find their voice, their truth and it...

You paint a vivid picture of tradition, beauty and tranquility in a world far from here. In your verses, I see landscaped gardens and calm waters beneath tiny foot bridges, cherry blossoms pink in the sunlight and the porcelain face of a Geisha,...

Your sentiments in this poem
Posted on Sat, 22 Apr 2023
Your sentiments in this poem reflect, for me, the immortal words of John Lennon:

Posted on Sun, 23 Apr 2023
You truly need to publish these screwball comedy vignettes. You have the dialogue and scene set down pat; all you need to do is slap it between two book covers.
Eating bugs for beer what a concept, rather disgusting but it made for a very...

Oh my, and now covid to boot? You have had a time of it and I know hospitals are not conducive to sleep, especially if you have to share the sleeping quarters. This has to be so stressful for you and yet your sense of humor remains at the...

It sounds like you could be a Brick Master with the way you describe your enjoyment. My older son loves lego's too and as a child, at the age of 5, he begged for the Pirate Ship. He was so determined and adamant that he could build it that we...

Posted on Thu, 06 Apr 2023
Your humor is intact in this gripping piece of autobiography and that amazes me; it had to have been harrowing when you woke up and realized you were on the floor, and not being able to reach your daughter had to be frightening. I don't know why...
