I'm the aberrational poet your English teacher warned you not to read or follow into the literary abyss. If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between fogyish metaphoric lines. I'll be armed with my quill and papyrus where at will I can wield my power as a writer to erase you from my realm. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unprintable things like a ghost in imaginary darkness.
In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed poetically. But, otherwise, I’m a simple free spirited poetic writer wordsmithing outside the grammatical lines and rules. An easy going romantic rebel at heart.
I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer.
Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

I see, And are South Jersey close to Philly girls …kinder, gentler, sweeter, finer Foxes or just bad ass women in heels that claim their man with a furry? 🙂 btw, I grew up outside Chicago.
Two names but correct. Chicago land is good to visit ir stop if passing through, but it was much better years back. imo but then I grew up on the outskirts, in a farming community that probably doesn’t have many farms left, if at all. Crystal Lake still serves my fav sandwich of all time.. a Vienna Italian Beef with cheese. Close to a Philly sand…
Omg 😋 yummy Italian beef must be wet or Vienna hotdog loaded 😋 yes light our equivalent to our famous Philly cheesesteak WIT wiz ..thats how you say it here 🤣🤣🤣 i am a only 5 minutes from Philly 😉💖
Now I just need recipe for that Italian beef and we both will be on the same page 😉 nothing like both of those sandwiches both of which I could eat a ton…not good for the waistline but damn good for the stomach and taste buds 😋 💙😘
Now that I can agree with! Hiking love it! I did a small day trip hike in wellsboro pa in the mountains about 6 summers ago…it was beautiful…love the tranquility of nature 😉 and all this talk is making me crave the juicy reward too 😋
I can be i think it depends on to what extent…I am not afraid to take chances I enjoy nature BUT forget skydiving or snorkeling or jumping off cliffs 🤣
Your braver then me lol I am not a fan of planes and i am claustrophobic so scuba omg NO lol 😅 😆 but I like to throw some caution to the wind a live just keeping my feet on the ground 🤣🤣
I hear that. Braver doesn’t always mean smarter. Skydiving was a dream from childhood 😉 scuba seems it would get boring alone. Which is why I decided on hiking even though I swore not to hike like a donkey after leaving service. 😉 times change and so do people. I feel enthusiastic about hiking long trail junts that might inspire great writes. Maybe make a few friends along the trek. Who knows what may come.
Hiking and being out in nature enjoying the scenery and beautiful quiet sounds are definitely a inspiration as are having time to focus within without the hustle and bustle of society today…how old are you poet if i may ask …respectively if you decline I understand and how long have you been a writer…your a beautiful one thats for sure…interesting and inspiring 😉❤
You flatter me!! I never wrote in school, never, no reports, stories, nothing. I started writing after the death of someone close to me hit me hard. I believe it was God’s way of seeing through such an emotional time and life. Poetry was always something I kept to myself until that event, and even then, I had to know someone for a while before exposing my raw emotions. I honestly don’t know what kind of writer I am, but I appreciate anyone complimenting me for what I see as more of a ministry, because I give it away online for free. As for my age, I taught the sages of yesteryear at heaven’s conception, lol but seriously, I’m a tad older than you. Maybe one day, I’ll whisper you the number. 😉 Thank you kindly for all of you kind words about me and my writing. You help inspire me to keep writing.
Thats beautiful poet! 😉 I started writing in high school myself and through the years never showed anyone until now..had my own little secret so to speak lol
Your a beautiful writer and person ❤
Waiting for that whisper …lol
I think I have my age on my blog if you don’t know I am actually older then I look…people think I am in my 20s all the time …thank you mom and dad 🤣 but I am 47 shhhh…almost 48.
.omg 😲
Thats our secret 😜 😉
Thank you. Mumms the word from me but umm… the public shares your secret now too. Your pic defies your claim. Get just close enough and you’ll hear it. On another note, I’m slowly learning to be a clumsy fly fisherman too when I camp. 😉 A man has to have some sort of activity when the pandemics lock the cities and bowling alleys up.
Hmmm…fisherman your a jack of all trades very outdoorsy …impressive 😊
And why thank you all good genes and well worked in dermatology for almost 9 years and learned to not go in the sun as far as sun tanning don’t smoke which I do not and use a rentnoid cream basically vit A …other then that I eat well for the most part tons of veggies and seeds whole grains but I love my carbs 😋 and am active too..camping huh thats a tough one for me I am prissy even while hiking well I wear the gear well and sport the ponytail but nails and lips still are sparkly and glittery…my friends use to say camping for me was a 4 star hotel 🤣🤣🤣
Dermatology huh?? Sounds interesting. I worked construction most of my life, mainly outdoors. Gave up smoking some time back. I eat greener veggies more often now and use more flavored water than coffee or I should state cappuccinos. But of course a sparkly Princess has to glamp, I think there is even an unwritten rule about it somewhere in a fairytale book or movie. 😉 I don’t think other hikers would care. My ponytail is thinning. I’ve been considering cutting it off and going back to shorter hair. Ahhh such poetic deliminmas I face these days… 😉
Yes worked in dermatology assisted in surgical procedures worked side-by-side with a dermatologist I used to love it I learned how to defat skin for skin graphs etc…I am a certified medical assistant 😊 well was lol
Nah other hikers I can attest may not 🤣🤣🤣
And keep the ponytail!
My dad is young he is 67 and he was a hippie and his hair has thinned and he rocks the ponytail it looks good!
No matter what keep the ponytail 😉
Sounds like you enjoyed it. Yea, your dad is a tad older than me. And I haven’t rushed to deciding on it. Tomorrow I expect to head back out bow hunting for a few days. No cell signals out there so writing will be delayed unless I get lucky and gety an Elk. My first time going after Elk and camping out if a tent. Only ten percent of hunters here get one and it’s been a rusty twenty years since I’ve hunted at all back in Northern WI.
No cell signals hmmmm…peace and quite ahhhh…sounds amazing 😊 be careful out there poet 🙏 really enjoyed talking to you… talk again soon! Your definitely a beautiful interesting person..I am inspired 😊💖
It is amazing to sit and feel the breeze. whisper through the corridors of your mind. Cold fresh mountain streams to sip from. Hot springs to soak in like royalty. T too find you much the same and have enjoyed our conversation very well. Now I have to ready for bowling night. Only our second week.
