Last Night
Last night was pretty rough. Robin woke up around 1:50pm screaming. Sometimes he'll wake up and then settle in a couple of minutes. Last night that was not to be. After about five minutes Alice Louise got up and went up to see what was up. Sleep training for the Robin man was very … Continue reading Last Night
Poem 11 – Desert Night
Desert Night The desert sunset, darkly red Clouds of shadowy moonlight Hitting the starlight far above, The symphony of desert night. Crickets click, owls call.

A Dog, A Squirrel, and Death
Dark thoughts ahead. Be warned. Here's a picture of Maddie with her blood up. I've been thinking a little about death lately. Morbid? no, not really. Just tonguing my own mortality. A bunch of little things have crept up around me and shifted my thoughts toward that undiscovered county. On my other blog I illustrated … Continue reading A Dog, A Squirrel, and Death
Poem 8 – The Candle of my Heart
The Candle of my Heart The candle of my heart burns bright For only a few to see Shedding a brilliant light For all that is to be.
