I have found myself, particularly recently, writing the first drafts of my poems/sonnets during walks. Taking off with perhaps a single word, then allowing my thoughts to wander sometimes in the opposite direction the word should indicate.

Poetic expression is constrained by the language, history and culture from which it springs, but it is not confined by these. Poetry has traditions, but every inspiration is as unique as each human soul. Everyone experiences life as no one else does, or has, or ever will again. Each poet’s creativity is inspired th

The nature of humanity is to observe, wonder about what we see and imagine or try to discover what it means. We are wont to consider the vast array of evidence from which we might learn more about the nature of existence. As rational creatures we consider cause and effect, seeking logical solutions to life’s myster

The great American plains with their vast horizons have not been far from my door for most of my life. I love their llanos, rolling hills and grasslands green or gold depending on the season.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

Once something is screwed up, its messed up. Nothing will undo that it happened, but you can put a patch on it.
