At Peace

Sitting silent, amidst the trees A place where I’m at peace to think Close my eyes, feel the breeze Nothing else is happening No need of stress, do that, plan this For worries, here; they all vanish I cast a stone to make a wish The calmness ripples, catching it I now look down, a … More At Peace

There exists a place  In fabled lore Where writers race Both rich and poor  Some ask for tips Some say hello With wine-filled sips True colors show Some fight a lot They bitch and moan More oft’ than not They’re sad, alone And in this land The fun, I sing Is throwing sand And arguing  … More The Writers Group

INSPIRE

Here I think I’ll sit, and Here I think I’ll lay, As the words come out to join us Yes, the words come out to play Softly striding, saddled  Are the hooves I hear today Alas, the mare has joined us As it snorts a jolly neigh So wait no more! Get out here ‘Tis … More INSPIRE
