Muzak

Posted on January 3, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Rhythms

Posted on January 2, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Posted on January 2, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

A dime a dozen

Posted on January 1, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Jackie

Posted on January 1, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Many loves I’ve have in life, but none more precious than my wife. She’s one who is more than she seems; of her inner beauty I could write reams. For now, suffice it if I simply say “I’ll love her … Continue reading →

I met a man

Posted on January 1, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Posted on December 24, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium

Paucity is my bedfellow; in his pit at times I wallow. It is the state within my mind, and tightly my life does it bind. It’s how I grew, it’s what I knew, it’s what my mind held to be … Continue reading →

My Days

Posted on December 22, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium

I have my days when I feel down. I have my days when I’m a clown. I have my days when there’s no hope. I have my days I feel a dope. But more and more I have those days … Continue reading →

My Father’s Wisdom

Posted on December 22, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium

My Way?

Posted on December 22, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium
