  • Prose Poems

    in , ,

    In a way, I write prose poems. Short jabs of non-fiction. A few words indicating where my thoughts are, where they may take me. Like a poem in that in few words, I do what? Do I communicate adequately in my terse interjections? Need I go into more detail? Can I? Does it suit me? Does…

  • Forgot to Take Meds

    in , ,

    Last night I forgot to take my Depakote (actually I take generic Divalproex). I was tossing and turning in bed with racing thoughts and the impulse to write and edit.

Since I didn’t know whether the images I had used were copyright-free, I decided to simply remove the few images I had posted and later upload my own photos, copyright-free images, and images that I…
