Me And My Poetry
Introduction Nearly all of my poetry these days seems to be villanelles or sonnets, and I like them because they make me feel safe when I am writing, that is, I know what I am doing is correct.

All "Raise Your Glass To America" Toasts
My bimonthly unofficial challenge fell on July, and what could be better than to put out a challenge for a celebratory toast to America for its 250-year anniversary of independence! I've had a lot of fun reading the entries, ranging from pure celebratory and patriotic toasts to tongue-in-cheek wishes for the country to correct its current course.

A Thank You To Justin, Chris, And Vocal
Introduction I am probably Vocal's fiercest critic and biggest promoter. It is without doubt my favourite publishing platform, but the upgrade has caused a lot of issues, and this is because of the complexities of the upgrade.

JW BAIRD...
Jwbaird from a young age had a love for art. Full of creativity and imagination, but haunted by not belonging and feeling unloved. Over the years, JW Baird struggled with finding a purpose in life. Wise beyond years, a true visionary, yet disturbed by the feeling of not quite wired right. Feeling unique, but not seen or heard.

From First Meeting to Long-Term Partnership
Every long-term partnership begins somewhere. Often it begins with a first meeting, a short introduction or a conversation that appears ordinary at the time. What happens next determines whether that introduction becomes a meaningful relationship or disappears completely.

A sidewalk Without Footsteps, a Voice Left Behind: The legacy of Henrik Hageland. Top Story - July 2026.
The author Henrik Hageland is dead. Why on earth should I care? A piece of news as empty as a sucked-out coconut. Hard to crack open, and perhaps a hell of a mess once you succeed?
