Relaxing with paintings, Half a world away, Enjoying the beauty of centuries past. From the masters of the ages, Step into each image, Dance and swim in the picture, Leap out and start again. Different styles and colors, Still scenes just the same. People, landscapes, and other things, Lives held within a moment, In a … Continue reading Poem: Enjoying the Beauty of Centuries Past

Poem: For Flowers, Lace, and Antique Things
For flowers, love, Lace and antique things. The stories they have to tell, Grasp some more than others. Relax and listen to the spin of yarn, By various mouths and voices, Some silent and others interpreting, Tales short and long. Follow their steps through the past. Embrace the memories, emotions, and more, And so keep … Continue reading Poem: For Flowers, Lace, and Antique Things
Poem: Where is a Hero Found
Everybody wants to be a Crusader, To be a fighter, To be a hero. There needs to be a villain for such a task, To provide the action for the reaction. There must be a focus, a conflict.

Keeping time held within, To hold the essence of the … Continue reading Poem: Welcome the Creative Conservator

Poem: Connecting to a Storm
Thunder pounding, rolling, building, Bursting, feel the striking within, Energy current flowing through Power crackling, from my fingers out, Connecting with the storm outside, Blood drumming in concert rhythm, Eerie sky crackles loudly, Heart expanding to meet the power, Letting loose a howl to match the wind, Rushing strength, flowing freedom, Exhilaration of the world … Continue reading Poem: Connecting to a Storm
Poem: The Energy of a Forge
The hammering and the striking, The bellows blow, maintaining a fire, Up down, the air flows, Forming, building, crafting more, Hear the ringing, Life blood pounding, flowing. Shield and shovel born within, Sword and sickle repaired once more, Tools of life or death given form. Within these walls the master works. Both a science and … Continue reading Poem: The Energy of a Forge
