JACK OF ANGELS Jack of Angels is searching For a ladder to Heaven ‘Cause he’s sprained his wing And it hurts to fly Little Mirriam dances around him Asking child’s questions Eyes flash like dark diamonds And their baggage – a puppy and a bird Wiggle wih curiosity and unguarded hope Jack’s footprints shine on [...]

There’s a way through life That your feet learn by walking Fluid as water, changeable as weather The path you walk starts at birth And ends at your death Yet it began before you And will continue after you The way is its own magic It owns you and transforms you And nurtures you like [...]

I’ve been reading Stephen King’s Dark Tower series and I can only regret that I didn’t find it years earlier. I’m up the fourth book, so there’s a few more to go. The beauty of the language and imagery floors me, not to mention a rip roaring adventure featuring characters drawn by a master. I’m [...]

Hello everyone. This is my first post in a little while. I’ve gone back to work – yay! though not full time yet. I just uploaded a new poem, quite cute, that bit me out of nowhere, like all good poems & kitty cats should. It’s sitting under Poems about Feelings, just waiting for a [...]

I am fascinated by transitions – just look at my silvergull picture – she can fly, but she is on the ground. She stands on the shore and faces the sea.
