This sentinel, with roots that grip the soil, A continuum witness of seasons' endless toil. Through storms and sun, a beacon in the breeze, once a life of strength, among the ancient trees. But time, marches, and its sharp axe will fall, gently splitting, as life begins to stall. The leaves, once vibrant, start to turn to gold, a final chapter of...

Did you know that even eagles age? I sadly put my story on this page. Once young, I soared, regal and proud, between lofty mountaintop and cloud. Then, I felt the wind beneath my wings, appendages, now old and shaky things. Confidence replaced by quiet despair, I realize, below me, only air. Goodbye my dear, if I could but forestall when my...

What could be more pleasurable than this? I muse to myself as I reminisce, when each limb was pulled by a diff'rent horse, that magic time when I went through divorce.

It wasn't me. I swear, it was her. The words she screamed seemed very absurd. I couldn't understand, I don't think I could hear-- Though there I saw words in mind, crystal clear The rain pours down like a waterfall. The experienced walk, while new spirits crawl. The sun shines on, not through, the rain So all I saw were words of pain. A...

RoBo Calls Miracle Man 4/25/2025 I’ve a strong dislike that now borders on hate, toward those unwanted calls that won’t abate. I get perhaps ten or so of these calls every day, thinking I’m an “Old Codger” they can sway. Its often about Medicare and always a scam, her sweet voice has for me some new program.

Father worked daily in the factory, while Mother was a proficient...
