So, a couple weeks ago, I encountered a post on Facebook that hit me pretty hard. Not like an “oh, my heart is breaking!” or a “Hahahahahaha!” But rather, an inspirational “wow, that’s…that’s actually true,” and I feel like I’ve known this for a while (a “back of the mind” type thing), but it didn’tContinue reading “Anything Worth Doing Blog Post”

Trust
You can’t trust what you can’t see,Life hides the path and hidden the key.An open field so warm and soft,Then sparked by fire, a deadly cough.Open the heart, let someone in.Dance and laugh, alive again.Until an action’s a dagger deep in the back.Bleeding on the ground, it all goes black.Hardened and shielded and locked inContinue reading “Trust”
You Claim You’re an Author…
I know there aren’t many followers to this site, but I’m hopeful I’ll get more. I hope to build a strong platform that might catch the interest of an agent that they’ll consider offering me representation. Representation for what? Well, to those of you who’ve read my bio, you might have noticed that line whereContinue reading “You Claim You’re an Author…”
Terror of Gebakajeezer
The pride of losing a bet could make you do some pretty stupid things. You compete with your rivals in a daring test of skill and when you lose, the worth of your word is on the line. Defeat weighs heavily on you and you start regretting making the bet in the first place,Continue reading “Terror of Gebakajeezer”
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. I wish I could just skip it and get to the part where I actually know what I’m doing andContinue reading “Puppy at the Ropes Blog Post.”
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.”
Writing prompt: Chasing the Enemy
I received a book of writing prompts a couple years ago where you have to use certain words in your writing. I wrote this prompt back in 2018, I hope you enjoy. Use the following words: Demon, bystander, escaped, parakeet, destiny, hammer, singing, ash, cathedral, heels. 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”
