the conferenceThe conference
I had gone to a writer's conference
The room was full of authors only interested
in reading and pushing their book
I had brought a book called Hunger, written
by Knut Hamsun, the pages were loose and
kept falling off, but there was a picture
of him a stern man-looking intellectual
The leader of the meeting, a man who was
proud he...

Flight of a ButterflySlowly walking the path of life,
winging with challenge, joy, and strife.
I came upon a butterfly,
floating, flittering in the sky.
So lightly gliding through the air,
I came to a stop, just to stare.
Created with such symmetry,
designed to live a life so free.
Like a butterfly’s flight in wind,

Life is seen by our...

a movie starA film star
It was not her creamy body that caught
My attention, nothing unusual about it
Curvaceous, yes but going soft, it was
Here eyes, in a blink they were blue, green
Or brown, depending on her mood that
Changed faster than traffic lights on
Sunset Boulevard
Between laughter, pain and suspicion
I could see her soul and wide-open eyes
They...

Left RightKeeping to the left or right side of the road,
By most is done right,
And seldom to chance left.
Yet once on the footpath,
We forget that which is right,
Which leaves no room left,
To cross to the left or right,
Making room for those on the left,
Which should be right,
But is too often left....

Donning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishesDonning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishes...
(plus cutlery, pots pans, et cetera) in the kitchenette sink.
She started what would immediately become
a first and last generation tradition
(the spouse as washer woman
and scullery maid)

eight years ago come July 1st, 2025.
I trumpet her pioneer spirit

It shields the colored, mazy
track from the fettered,
chained grass.
The gory river gleaming
in the miscellaneous mirror.

sparkle like an oracular,

A Tale From The Loom - XXI to XXVThey journeyed long the way to love not straight as science rule;
To scale high peaks that merged into the wispy mountain dew;
Over green hills, past forest trees, gale winds would shake and bend;
Through scorching suns and driving rains to reach their journeys end.
Unknown to him her witching had ensured against all failings;
She breathed desire, stoked...

A Tale From The Loom - XVI to XXThe lair aglow with brightness now she saw the Dragon clear;
Immense in form and stature with a grin from ear to ear;
From nose to tail smooth skin of black his fiery eyes alert;
He strutted, bristled with a force he knew he could exert.
Along his back and legs were studs so diamond-like a-glistening;
She saw his beauty...

A Tale From The Loom - XI to XV"As such he ambled through to here which I cannot undo;
You are advised to still comply, ensure your line stays true"
No, not his rotund form alone did shake her to the core;
For that he could still move at all was not to be ignored;
It was the odours he exuded, stale of several weeks;
His shorts two...

A Tale From The Loom - VI to XShe lays the carpet on the floor as though a regal dress;
Each loving stitch sewn by her hand displays no sign of stress;
The time has come to greet her fate though not a hint of fret;
She sits with folded legs her arms are laid across her chest;
She waits that witching hour now to speak the...
