A Word You Wish Existed Prompt & Dollar Challenge
I have found that I love the unofficial challenges that people run. It gives me the ability to focus, not only on an idea to write, but also on who to read, since there is so much to sift through.

God willin' and the crick don't rise.. Top Story - December 2024.
That's my mommy, about to hop the fence in her 60 year old body when that man leered at my daughter's backside. I had to pry her off the wired metal before she did an Olympic pole vault to shame the world. Lord help that man; he was two inches near a beating he could never imagine an old Kentucky woman could give him.

When Thanksgiving ate Christmas and Halloween burped
I stumble into my best friends home, November 15th. Piles of luggage tumble on the floor, and we rush to walk the yippity furballs currently frantically dodging good old fashioned bonks. We push the bags and packs to the middle of the room so can I begin my routine.

Searching for sparks
When I look at her I feel a jolt. You know that hyper-caffeinated drink that Panera sold, that was killing people? That's her/that's me. Every time I drink her in everything in my chest arrests.

Winter butterflies
We stood in October shadows, lights from the football field spilling brightly through bleachers, falling towards giant oak trees which canopied the concessions shop.

"What goes up, must come down" or "14 weeks out of 52". Content Warning.
-a microfiction Boom boom bang. Slide to the floor. Pop pop pop. Play "Fireworks? Backfire? Gunshots?" Pap-pa-p-ap-pap-pap. How long do we wait to go back to sleep?

Ebullition, an E-story
Lets start real quick with the challenge house keeping. I was late to A, B, C, and D for Penny Fuller’s “The A-Z of Unusual Words Challenge”, but I wanted to try to join for the next letter and I get a kick out of checking off boxes in order. So, before I do competition E, I figured I should do A, B, C and D, (which you can find here here and here and here) even though I can’t vie for the top spots and that sweet $1 tip.

D for Diaphanous
First gotta follow instructions. Challenge Rules House Keeping I’m late to A, B, C, and D for Penny Fuller’s “The A-Z of Unusual Words Challenge”, but I wanted to try to join for the next letter and I get a kick out of checking off boxes in order. So, before I do competition E, I figure I should do A, B, C and D, even though I can’t vie for the top B-spots and that sweet $1 tip. I’ve already done letter A, B and C (which you can find here here and here) am chugging along now to letter D.

Highlighted Poet Robin Gow
I recently wrote a breakdown and review of Revolute, a literary magazine. As part of the review I identified the poet whose works most resonated with me. This poet is Robin Gow.
