The Door

The Door was locked

when I grabbed the handle and pushed with all my might/ a surge of resentment pushed into my gutt as I recalled our last conversation/you put your face to mine where I could smell your acrid breath of etoh and gall/my throat ached for a spew/I grabbed a rock and shattered the glass/what remains is for you to pick up the pieces/

Fishing Day

Make sure to load the truck in the correct order

Everything should be placed according to the plan

This method saves time and timing is everything

Honor what you were taught from your mentors

Once you sit and observe the real fun begins

Daylight peeking as you ponder is a great way to start a fishing day

Island Dreams – An Acrostic

I wonder where I would spend my time on an island

Stepping onto the sandy bank, would I chance to explore

Leisurely I would wander while I would wonder

About that which is in the unknown

Needless, I would not require a camera or pen

Dreams will lead me to delights I can only capture in my heart
