Poet and grandpa. It’s taken too many years for me to finally say that out loud. (Not the part about being a grandpa.) Living in Wisconsin.
Thank you @rfsmith.bsky.social for this week's #Memorial #PromptCombo. Here's my little contribution.

A bit of a #WIP I've been working on just as #PoemsAbout #ImperfectMe hit.

Thanks Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for this week's #promptcombo #history. This one's a bit cheeky, in a sympathetic sort of way.

Thanks, Paul, for this week's #Mariner #PromptCombo. My poem here was inspired by a trip to Skye back in January.

It's taken me longer than most, but here's why I quit amazon today. Families will be torn apart. Innocents will be locked up. Fuck Bezos and fuck anyone who thinks this a joke and something from which to turn a quick buck. Sickening. 11/3/26 can't come soon enough.

Haven't thought about this oath since my own swearing in 39 years ago. I'm curious how military leaders would respond if one of the people they swear to obey turns out to be a domestic enemy of the Constitution.

Around 20 years ago, this became the symbol of outrage at perceived government overreach. They had no idea. NOW is actually the time to be flying this flag.
