I just got back from family vacation, and we had a blast! Fun places to go, amazing food, good times. I was even inspired to write a poem at one of the many places we went. Enjoy!

I’ve been missing the winter lately. Sitting by the fire, sipping warm beverage, etc. Maybe that’s because it has been SO hot! Nevertheless, I stumbled upon this poem I wrote last season. Enjoy!
I Have a Problem
“Food is My Poison”
Self Thought
“Self Thought”
Think too much of yourself and
Low worth pervades the mind
Yet your self thought erodes
As image elevates in kind
Yes worthless in some eyes
Pedestal placed in even less
Yet you are worth more than
Seeing yourself as worthless
1905 Topf Road
I’ve had it on my list to write a poem about the house we live in, its character, charm, and what makes it our home: other’s presence. My wife and I are very hospitable and we love to entertain. I hope this piece captures the essence of our current home and of who we are as a family. Enjoy!
“1905 Topf Road”
Nineteen O Five Topf,
Where we call our home,
Just off Rosemont Drive;
You’ll never spend time alone.
Dusk Stalking
In want of a walk
I cross my dull street,
Listening for new sounds,
Wondering what I’ll have found.
Caught
“Caught”
