I have been nominated for two awards (Sunshine Blog Award and Reality Award) by the wonderful Danny Breslin! It is refreshing to have another writer appreciate my random and fleeting posts. I’ll try harder to get some more poetry up soon. I understand I have to answer some questions? Here you go: Sunshine Blog Award … Continue reading
Generation Poetry
My aunt sent me some poetry that my grandmother wrote when she was eighteen, which was in the year 1946.

If you’re going to troll someone, at least do it on a site where the person is writing … Continue reading
