in agitation from left to right

Behold a deadly beauty personified,
Intelligence next step in evolution.
These devils...

And commune with the Spirits therein.

6/5/22


In the distance a faint light
Paying my respects at a gravesite

During the day light
And the late night
Humans always got something to say right?

I'll...

for the rest of his life
the details of the boat that
hauled him to safety from a

He remembers, too, the loquacious friend
with the comforting words and sincere concern
who in...

My warm yellow orca is just coming back from a purple haze

The beach at Orca Praia – Funchal Madeira

The powerful deep blue ocean
Expends its tidal force
Pounding down upon sea pebbles
With thud and smash so coarse

Watching from a vantage point
From the horizon to the shore
The lines of...

A sea gull flew over the ocean admiring his reflection every day.
Passing over the shore, he saw penguins at work and careful play.
What an ugly bird they are he suddenly proclaimed.
They can’t fly and still...
