Nock, Draw, Aim

Nock, draw, and aim, release that volley of arrows down on the enemy, make sure the bow’s properly strung, unstring it and string it again if you must. Don’t squeeze the grip too hard, focus and fire, ashamed at the sleeper on the battle-field, he had been warned by the driver of the movement. TattooedContinue reading “Nock, Draw, Aim”

Running Through the Days

Work in the morning on Monday and finish up last week’s that evening; work all day on Tuesday and cram in some late that night; don’t work on the weekends during times of chores; clean the house until it shines; stop what you’re doing to avoid trouble; when cleaning the dogs be sure yourContinue reading “Running Through the Days”

Puppy at the Ropes Blog Post.

Over the past week, I’ve started a new job at an animal shelter and I really like it. However, like all jobs, you have to go through a training period and I hate training periods.

Metronome of Memories.

Walking through campus and what do I hear? But a metronome screaming in somebody’s ear.The closer I get the ground starts to quake.At the powerful rhythm many drummers did make.At their sight, I can only smile.They brought up some memories that’d been lost for a while.Of a cool, stormy night under a harvest moon.Where thoseContinue reading “Metronome of Memories.”

Ash covered the ruins like a thick, suffocatingContinue reading “Writing prompt: Chasing the Enemy”

Loved

Midnight, the air is tinged with the scent of death.Living coward in fear as blood washes the streets turning everything red.Kindling a wildfire to rampage the streets, a man destroys all that is loved.Justice to be done in the heat of the night,Ignorance or refusal drops a man six feet into the grave,Heavy sins pushingContinue reading “Loved”

Memoir Writing Prompt: Childhood Illness or Injury

I never really had a major injury or illness throughout my childhood. I was always the kid that never broke a bone, never sprained an ankle, or never got that dire disease that was floating around (like today’s corona virus). I remember, when I was young, always seeing my friends or fellow classmates limpContinue reading “Memoir Writing Prompt: Childhood Illness or Injury”

The Birth of a Site Blog Post

Wow! Designing and completing this site was quite the venture for me! Like most people, I didn’t actually watch the WordPress tutorials for crafting a website. I figured: “how hard could it be?” Well, for my lacking computer skills, it was harder than I thought. WordPress advertises that you can get a website going inContinue reading “The Birth of a Site Blog Post”
