Letter to Brian

To my dear friend, I extend my hand, but your outstretched arms were not close enough for me to reach. I want to embrace you, but your weak body and soul are too far for me to hold. I want to ease your pain, but I cannot mend your wounds.…

RAMBLING POST

Daily Prompt: Rare Medium I am a poet because I suck at writing.  This post tells someone a lot about who I am in relation to the blogospher.  And there are a lot of great blogs mentioned.  So, in a way this, is my appreciation rant revisited. Daily Prompt : On the Edge   I…

Daily Prompt: Ready, Set Go Set a timer for ten minutes. Open a new post. Start the timer, and start writing. When the timer goes off, publish.
