Writing Is a Gift-Part 2
I’m convinced. Writing is actually, truly, really a gift. This article is more of an expression of gratitude, and there will be lots of cheese, so if you haven’t read part 1, please do that because leaning into the cheese and sappy is so good for our souls.

Point Blank
Point blank. My pen on a paper. Or is that a pencil? No matter. It's time to scratch. Get off the silence. Speak up and make some noise.

Thunder
We’re all under thunder How do we we overcome The wicked herald cracks out the whip of the ever dreaded blackened thumb Don’t waste the time behind the clouds and lightning bolts Enough time has passed Who are you trying to impress with those? Under thunder Long wind and plunder The battles around Swirling tornados In heartfelt wonder We’re all under thunder The storm brewing Slowing and swirling Where will you run for cover Don’t get wet Try not yet But don’t let go when we’re all under thunder Under thunder Blinding Lightning Why do we do this Strive for the top shiny tulips The Sunday The weekdays We’re all under thunder It’s not time to break for lunch yet Don’t tell him you heard it Around and around the tree and garden Heaven knows that the storm is Guarding Barking up the wrong tree I’m failing to see the misery In the melody This mirror doesn’t reflect me Thunder Crash Crushing weight The thunderstorm falls heavily The weights are no longer on me Under thunder Have you danced in the rain while the drums Drum Drum The thunder to the rhythm Splash Jump The puddles will turn into lakes We’re under thunder Dance or run for cover The choice will Show the storm who knows We’re all under thunder

I am a big dreamer. A visionary. Are you a big dreamer? If you’re reading this and you are a creative person like myself, then I think it’s safe to say….

i like poetry
I like poetry. Sometimes my tears taste like salt, you see. Do they always taste like that? Do tears of joy taste like cotton candy?

Meeting The Deep
No matter where she goes that Bren can’t stop looking for trouble. That’s what all the elder water spirits said about Bren. All of her friends looked up to her and admired her courage, and her mother and father always seemed to shake their heads.

Running For My Life. Top Story - August 2023.
Running for my life. I’m running for my life. I am running until I can taste the blood bubble up in my mouth. I am running until I can feel my lungs.

Writing Is a Gift. Top Story - August 2023.
Writing is such a gift. Hi fellow writers and Vocalites! It has been some time now since I have been on a hiatus. It's been sweet and wonderful and much needed. I have been so grateful to see that there has been a steady stream of readers on some of my stories while away.

The 7 Best Classic Horror Novels You Should Read This Year
The horror genre has now splintered into so many sub-genres it can be hard to keep track. Not only hard to keep track but so much of it has gotten muddled up and lost in the craft (in my own opinion). The fact is, there's actually an art to telling chilling tales and this list is just a few where their writer has honed that art form. Here are 7 of the best classic horror novels of all time.

Night Poets
Poetry. “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” - Robert Frost It’s one of those things, you know? People either don’t get it at all and they hate it or they have one image in their head. That image is of self-righteous college students who take themselves way too seriously, they wear berets, bang a few bongos, and snap at each other’s nonsensical inspirations.

Together
We have been walking for decades. Together. Separate. Towards freedom or a view of it. We have been seeking each other -
