Do It The Write Way! Let My Fingers Do Your Talking!
“The stars do not apologize for shining unseen by day.
So too, the soul does not falter
because the world does not look its way.”

Published poems can be fanciful, ethereal, hard-hitting, profound, silly, and – sometimes – reflective how how we perceive “reality” in our lives or in the world….here are four poems, three of which were published in the 2024 Write by the Rails Anthology. The anthology theme was A Glint of Light. Continue Reading →

Poetry & Pictures prompts promote propagation of peculiar posts for pleasure. In my case, they’re not well crafted, as I do them fast before moving on to “real work.” However, perhaps my sharing samples will inspire you to do some and to do them better! Below are some “Oldies” that are not necessarily “Goodies.” The images are ones that I photographed, created using AI, or got from Pixabay with rights to use them. Continue Reading →
You may not have heard of this style until now, but people publish whole books with this kind of content, and you can, too!

Rindgo – married to a pastor, was a deeply religious man who also was a gunrunner in the nation’s capital. The children loved him. What? I love storytelling – especially when the story is TRUE! This week, HAPPINESS was receiving a surprise email from a photojournalist who authored an article about my work with homeless people in 1991. Some of those folks were addicted to drugs and alcohol or had AIDS. Rindgo had the added disadvantage of being an amputee, the loss of his leg having resulted from diabetes. All these people became my friends as they faced many challenges with bravery and – as it turned out – with LOVE. Today’s Guest Contributor, Erika Langley, contacted me recently and sent me a copy of her article, featuring Rindgo. You can read it below; but, first, let’s learn about Erika. Continue Reading →
