National Poetry Month, day 17: A particular sea from a particular spot
The North Sea is a place I’ve never seen, but the connotations I have of it are a deep sea of cold, gray waters. The North Sea is the body across which the Vikings came on their voyages of plunder, … Continue reading

National Poetry Month, day 16: Another cat poem
The other day, I posted two poems about cats. In comments, a fine reader asks: Are you familiar with the Hamlet Soliloquy done from the point of view of a cat? I had to admit that I was not, so … Continue reading
Lookin’ Out My Back Door
As I write this, it’s a little after 9:30 am on Saturday morning, April 16, 2022. Though it has now stopped, this was the scene about an hour ago as I looked over my back yard. Were I to look … Continue reading
National Poetry Month, day 15: On Mr. Bloat, his goat, and her throat
If you’ve seen the movie Dead Poets Society, you remember that the movie quotes a bunch of poems throughout its running time. It quotes few in their entirety, and most are either quoted for dramatic effect or to basically provide poetic … Continue reading

National Poetry Month, day 13: Two poems about cats
Except for the time between Julio’s passing and our adoption of the two felines pictured above, I have never in my life not lived in the presence of at least one cat. (Unless we count my months in college.) Cats … Continue reading
National Poetry Month, day 12: In which I experiment with the Spoken Word.
I’ve never liked the way my speaking voice presents on video, which is why my own explorations into video content don’t tend to be…much. However, I figure I should really work on getting over this, for various reasons. It all … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
It’s Spring! Has been for several weeks! But actual signs of spring have been slow in coming, as they always are here in The 716. But we’ve had a few sunny and warm days of late–today is one of them!–and … Continue reading
National Poetry Month, day 11: Overalls!
For today’s selection I turned to Google, and I simply searched “Overalls poetry”. I figured somebody out there has to be waxing poetic about overalls! And I found more poetry so devoted than I expected, to be honest. Some of it … Continue reading

National Poetry Month, day 10: Walt Whitman and the Learn’d Astronomer
During most of my college years, the Physics department was run by Dr. Don Roiseland, a guy who was frankly beloved on campus. He was a big, tall goofy guy, bald, with facial features that famously (at least to everyone … Continue reading
