My book has been out in the world for five months! This poem is a selection from the book. As you may guess, it is about a typical day where I dissociate from everything around me. I’m floating through the world, not really attached to my body, and watching everything as if I’m watching TV.

A new post from my blog.

I’m attempting to share my posts as images. They aren’t the most accessible way to do that, but I keep hitting character limits and I don’t want to break it up into a thread.

Of course, I’ll always share the link to the original text. Link below! ⬇️

I’m back from my super amazing solo writing retreat! It was awesome. I wrote a lot, explored a lot, and also relaxed. Also, there were chickens! The place a stayed at had a huge garden and chicken coop.

It was a much needed getaway. I recommend that every writer do this at least once a year!

Here are a few. The first two are charcoal, my favorite medium to work with. The third is pencil and watercolor. The last is a digital painting.

We spent the day at the hospital yesterday for my wife. She had some pain causing concern, but everything is okay!

So what does a poet do while sitting around? Why they write, of course.

And they posted a photo with their favorite chicken, so that wins some points with me!

Starting the year off a bit dark. This is how a poet handles writer’s block. 🤭

From a prompt about “peace” I thought of snow. ❄️

One of the things I like about winter is that I can go stargazing at 7:00PM. I wrote this one while walking the dogs and staring up at that great expanse.

Also, happy Solstice! From here on, our daylight increases as our early stargazing times decrease.

I was going through my poems and found this one that didn’t make the cut for my book. I'm wondering why I didn't include it and wish I took notes! 😅

My debut poetry book delves into the struggles of living with bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and anxiety. Offering hope and understanding, its raw honesty and uplifting reflections traverse the social issues that cause strife, but also show the beauty in humanity.
