A Poem for Sun: Summer Surf

Hey, it's a beautiful day, take it outside! You saw the sun, how it's sayin' 'Hello,' Come down to the beach, feel the sand in your toes, Or just come down for the ride! Oh, say Aloha! Oh, say Hello-a! Hey, get your bathing suit on, set up the umbrella, Hurry up now and lay …

Wandering Thoughts: What If

"You're beautiful." And yet, as I stood staring at the girl in the mirror, I wondered if that were really true. Blond curls, ocean-blue eyes, sure she was pretty. But was she really beautiful? I wasn't convinced. Then I thought to myself, What if she was? What would it take for her to be beautiful?  I played …

Last Night’s Sky

I sit outside in our backyard. The fire has already been lit and is chuckling softly to itself. The back of my chair tilts back a little, so I can look up at the sky. There is a quiet conversation going on beside me, but I am silent. I was thinking of you when I …

“A Writer, You Say?”

The notebook is open, the pen, poised in hand, The floodgates of thought thrust wide. I could write about heroes in some distant land, of maidens and dragons and magic--oh and!
