It’s a Sunday and my wife is playing Devil May Cry 2 again. She says it might be her favorite. What have I done?Since it’s Sunday the only writing I’m doing is on this blog. I’m excited to start my One Hour Challenge on Monday. I think whatever happens, I’ll learn a lot. I’ve alsoContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/18/25”

Creator Journals 4/27/25
I don’t usually write on Sundays. That’s kind of a rule I’ve set for myself. I think it’s important to have a day without any work or any expectations of work, if possible. Writing is something I do for fun, but it also drains some of my energy. I don’t always feel the drain atContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/27/25”
Creator Journals 4/26/25
Last night, my wife showed me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Ian Fleming wrote that (Truly Scrumptious is a Bond girl). It was a hell of a movie. Early on, Dick Van Dyke, a crazed inventor, is trying to make money so he can buy his children a broken car. So he goes around town tryingContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/26/25”
WD 221 “Claude Frollo”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Claude Frollo Say what you mean to me My particles are rippling with the burden of anticipation And antiseptic creams that wash out infections You’re covered in them, blistering beasts of unmatched ferocity The sun sets on you when you like And you’re back to letContinue reading “WD 221 “Claude Frollo””
WD 219 “Ideation”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Ideation I am the feather on the tail of the arrow Helping it find its way home In the blocked up entryway to your vein Son of earth Daughter of sky The moment of contact is everything And you pray that no one will be thereContinue reading “WD 219 “Ideation””
WD 214 “Change My Skin”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Change My Skin I came to a realization At the peak of one lunar mountain The things that changed me were also changed. Coins in my pocket, jingling with oils and skin cells Passed between traders and betrayers alike Silver in the shaft like Judas hunting werewolvesContinue reading “WD 214 “Change My Skin””
WD 207 “Stethoscope”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Stethoscope Reflect all the Light that was taken away And be a beacon for the sick The blind, the def, lepers and Those with chronically weak hearts We had a boat that traveled by the ruddy glow of the blood stream Tossed by the reckless whimsContinue reading “WD 207 “Stethoscope””
WD 206 “Artifice”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Artifice A lie A clever distraction Braced end to end in iron bars What am I But a carbon copy Of every breath you take A sad memory on the sweet breeze When you close your eyes to shut off the electrical circuits in your head Continue reading “WD 206 “Artifice””
WD 205 “Into Nothing”
A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth. Into Nothing There is an inequality in the stars That some would burn bright and others burst into Super novas Upon the expanse I’m waiting For you With fingers tapping to the rhythm of the universe And the planets are in love with black holes VacantContinue reading “WD 205 “Into Nothing””
WD 198 “Blameless Effigy”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Blameless Effigy I came to be A presence defined by that which was absent Coagulated blood in a drying nervous system To keep the brain impulses from running free and rising Beyond station As I cross the threshold you see A mirrored image of her SmilingContinue reading “WD 198 “Blameless Effigy””
