Adorable poem Jenny- and when

Posted on Tue, 16 Apr 2024

Adorable poem Jenny- and when I read it I smiled thinking how we must think alike; I'd had a silly thought turn into a poem about a rabbit on a spring day. But, I love this mouse world you've created and a spring day in that life was much fun to...

Her story is sad indeed. A

Posted on Sat, 09 Mar 2024

Her story is sad indeed. A woman of remarkable courage and vision led an army into battle and won but had to hide her gender and don men's clothes - and because she was a woman, her victory awarded her, not a medal but a martyr's death. Even...

"peeping Squirus Vulgaris..." --- I think his cousins live here in Florida; I've seen a few peeping squirrels looking into my windows.

Posted on Sun, 03 Mar 2024

Wow...wow...This is so

Posted on Sun, 25 Feb 2024

Wow...wow...This is so interpretive, surreal, filled with twisting images - I loved it! The first verse took me to the white album and of course I love the Beatles (Favorite: John Lennon) so Happiness is a Warm Gun conjured his voice for me but...

Posted on Thu, 15 Feb 2024
