The Poet's Curse
A poetic interpretation of the artist's struggle
Words swirling around me churning thoughts
that never stop every minute
fitting together the pieces
to construct its gigantic mound
of a jigsaw puzzle
and I can't help but wonder
working diligently with his brothers
each word one of a million tiny shards
or a telescope used to view a fire ant
is it like this
In noise cancellation mode
in a thousand colors
2nd generation AirPod Pros
for every creative soul?
like white noise generated by my
with no picture to use as a guide
drowning out my wife's question
deafening voices
struggling to pull into focus
cracking its 3 telephoto lenses
the details of the most mundane task
dropped carelessly on a concrete sidewalk
in my waking life
like a space grey iPhone 15 max
(as I try to get my finger
of my high-efficiency washing machine)
to push the start button

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?
