Toupee
Toupee, or not toupee, that is the question: whether 'tis nobler on the head to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous alopecia or to take wigs against a sea of baldness, wear them as a buffer, the whips and scorns stem, and by opposing end them. Ay, that's the nub. With apologies to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) ...

I love when we sit in the hot bright sun, add some butter or we will get well done. Sky and water of ice blue, better than the dull store view. Oh! look I am popping so I will run....

Premium Member The Shore Remembers Me
The seashore knows, the path I tread. Records my steps, when I have fled. In prints I cast, the post-card shows, The path I tread, the seashore knows. Gulls see my stance, as swells flash past. The post-card shows in prints I cast, As wave surge clears, rushing to dance, As swells flash past, gulls see my stance. Seashells snatch sighs, replaying...

Rhythm of the Waves
barefoot on the shoreline, chasing the breeze, your voice still lingers in the hush of the seas. the sand remembers where we once stood, writing our names like we thought we could. but nothing stays, not even the tide— it all comes back, then slips outside. in the rhythm of the waves, i hear your name, rising and falling, never the same. every...

Premium Member By the sea
i often wonder about the why’s and where’s why the sea scent permeates the air and where it wanders so across the land why the waves unfurl without a care and where it is they toss the sand why the moon freehands its glitter and where its drifting loot is carried why time spent in contemplation is never lost and where our serenity...

Water is always my release, release of that impulse to dive. Dive fish-scaled and iridescent, iridescent swells the water. Water quiets and feels like home, home undulates but stays sacred. Sacred like every rolling wave, wave that binds my soul to water....
