We just finished binging on True Detective, season one, with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. The story line is flawed, but the character development, acting and directing is superb. McConaughey’s character, Rustin Cohle is an existential nihilist. It fascinated me, not … Continue reading

NaPoWriMo # 19 Landays
I hope you all read the article on landays. I’m fascinated on many levels but mostly by how ancient the form is. I am so consistently amazed by how forms, symbols, ideas, customs persist through millennia. In spite of myriad … Continue reading
NaPoWriMo #16 Terzenelle
Who says poets don’t work hard? I feel liked I’ve walked ten miles. Almost caught up- will manage #12 some other day. It’s an easy one, thank Brigit (Celtic goddess of poetry). This is such an interesting form though. I … Continue reading

NaPoWriMo, Day Four – Love by Any Other Name…
I think there is a theme developing here! An exploration of negative space á la poesy. Today it’s suggested we write a love poem without ever using the word “love” or employing any hackneyed phrases associated thereof. Here goes: … Continue reading

Day 17 – Second Greeting
Mantra I love the way you reach for me when I slide out of bed – oh so quietly to read, pee or surf because insomnia is a perk of ageing you’ve not yet claimed. I actually like these … Continue reading
