I hate getting in a writing slump. I can play some Coldplay, light soothing scented candles and still sit at my computer or lay in bed with a blank stare.
I don’t want to have to count on a bad day or a life-altering experience to create a meaningful poem.
We need some type of remedy for this [...]

Fall Poem

I love the mountains! My family has a vacation home up in Wellsboro, PA.

Here is a poem about the short life of the colorful leaves of fall. I wish they would hang on a little longer [...]

That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
