About the Creator

I have enjoyed writing for most of my life, never professionally.

I wish to now share my stories with others, lets see where it goes.

Born and raised on the Canadian Prairies, I currently reside on the West Coast. I call both places home.

    The signs of the wise, a beacon for the poor.

    The fun thing about Icarus that I like is that he wasn't supposed to fly too low either, else the mist off the ocean would weigh down his wings. 😁

  • This is what it means to be human. Children not heeding advice and wisdom. Parents having to watch the tragey unfold.

  • Ohh I do love Icarus!! Excellent

  • I love this story. Great idea for your haiku. Is my count off? Last line is short syllables. Just checking, would hate this to be off.
