14 Day Object Writing Challenge
My friend who has a master's degree in poetry told me that I have a lyricist in me. That was good news as I don’t think I am a poet, and I am much better at rhyme and storytelling. So, a lyricist sounds like something I can work with.

Love The Grandchildren
The eighteen-year-old called to get some information about building a gun. He called Grandpa. Grandpa told him to build a go-kart. I said, did you tell him that sounds dangerous? Yes, Grandpa said, he did tell him that. The next call was from our grandson to ask if Grandpa had a tool to cut a stock.

Trauma, Grief, and LossTop Story - March 2024

28 Day Reboot
In February of 2024 I hosted a Poem a Day in February (PaDiF), complete with contests and prizes that went in the mail each week. While being caught up in that I had the idea to join a 28-day reboot, because I was getting behind on my housework and that is not only because of PaDiF.

New Form of Poetry for Me
The breccbairdne is an Irish quatrain form. Here are the basic guidelines: Quatrain (or four-line stanza) form. Five syllables in the first line; six syllables in the other three lines. Each line ends with a two-syllable word. Lines two and four rhyme. All end words consonate. Quick note: Consonance is the act of repeating consonant sounds. by Robert Lee Brewer
