Sometimes I am really surprised by the thoughts that enter my head… No ‘s’—I’m a leap Did I tell you I can’t spell? That’s Leap Day four you… (29 February 2016)

We did this to ourselves (A poem)
Bonus round—unfiltered… Yeah, being wrong can hurt like the time I waited until I was 40 to get married so I’d never have to worry about ever getting divorced and then we totally got divorced for the same tired old reasons that thousands of couples before us had for getting divorced And why didn’t the [...]
Dear Iris (A poem)

Dear Friday…

A long-awaited truth (A poem)
Back to the epistles again, after a short break. You are happy now, I cannot deny That’s a truth for which you waited long You need no more to wonder why For your heart now sings a brand new song writ of joy, unbridled and free That’s a truth for which you waited long Worry not, my [...]
