WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Spiderwebs
Spiderwebs are clouding my mind.
Clinging to my concentration,
Stretching it all out of sorts.
Spiderwebs building thick,
taking over, holding back, my vocabulary.
Once I was sharp, quick to respond.
Loved to read and knew the words.
Now, I am reduced to sluggishness.
Lethargic in my motivation.
Incompetent in my readings,
Lacking any concentration.
Spiders have moved into my head;
Eaten away at my knowledge;
Built their webs in every corner.
