Well, I am only one of your garden snails, as I'm certain it would take me two days to get there, and then I would fear being stepped upon by a Professor of Something or Other.

God is Dead . (again) Kirby Congdon (Article) - 4/24/2006 9:42:28 AM
Yes, it was my history professor who first told me that God was dead, but I didn't believe it of course, until after the fact had actually occurred. God was murdered by abortion doctors. Everyone should realize that fact.
So Much is Burning William Taylor, Jr. (Article) - 4/24/2006 9:36:35 AM
This book title is amusing to me, as my son's "couldn't care less" father, William, lost his first wife when she escaped with their two daughters in an attempt to "taylor" them in such a way that they would not get burned in the too "hot" Texas fashions. He gave me his sob story and made her sound real bad, then dumped me pregnant right after our honeymoon. What a total rapist! Now I'm forced by my rapist captor to raise my own daughters of my subsequent real marriage in the too "hot" Texas fashion environment, and the burnt to a crisp neighbors are getting worse all the time while I finally get wise as the mother of daughters, though I'm unable to escape to West Virginia and prevent William from Tayloring Junior ... Oh Kay, that was a lengthy joke.

Do You Have to be Crazy To Write Poetry (Article) - 6/19/2005 10:25:53 PM
Hello Doug,
Having lived with a Paranoid Schizophrenic, I can attest to the fact that although he may have had moments of "genius" during his madness, his intelligent and creative mind only truly shined when he was lucid.
Thank you for bringing this topic to the forefront. I so appreciate your doing so, and I wish you well with your work.

A Poet Takes Driving Lessons (Article) - 9/6/2003 4:11:32 PM
Hi Doug,
As a person who had a short hiatus from driving, a year off. I was in a bad car accident and it scared the very dickens out of me although I escaped with a scratch. Then my wife got sick and it was necessary for me to start driving again. I started small. I'd go to the local store for bread and milk, about a mile from home. Gradually, I took on longer jaunts. However, I did develop a bit of a coping strategy. I now drive in our suburb, but when I want to go into downtown Vancouver, I take the car to the local park and ride and hop on the bus. There are more ways than one to skin a cat, I guess. At any rate your comments hit home with me. By the way, I have the one piece of my poetry that has ever seen the light of day, a sonnet entitled Smooth Talker. Keep writing. Larry

Review- Ladies' Night at the Blue Hill Spa-Lisa Beatman (Article) - 7/11/2002 5:55:39 AM
It's a pleasure to read poetry without trying to think 'what the heck is this person trying to tell me?'
Lisa Beatman is approachable but still deep enough to make one ponder. Her characters are real people.

That tree has a piece of me. (Poetry) - 8/10/2007 6:54:46 AM
Doug,
I love the mix of humor and sincerity here:
"brittle egg head" and "numb skull" had me laughing.
Then, the second-to-last stanza gave me pause.
And the last stanza ties it all together:
Yes,
I am sure
that tree
has a piece of me.
I'm sure you're dad could same the same of you.
Very well done.
Leo
That tree has a piece of me. (Poetry) - 8/9/2007 5:58:49 PM
Now
like my father
a man with
a purple heart
and a little metal in his skull
this idea here is BRILLIANT!
when i first read purple heart i thought he was dead. i dont know why. but then i followed the thought process through before i even read it and decided if you were talking about a war medal then i was gonna worship you XD
that was really well done.
and you prolly deserve a purple heart for taking that tree on so valiantly lol.
its funny when we pause to look at something from our past... now that we are grown up and moved on.
i saw an army truck the other day and my heart got a little stuck in my throat for a split second... when i was little my dad told me that the army was put on earth to shoot you when you get too old and that they decided how old too old was... he doesnt even remember saying it but for years anything to do with the army would land me in hysterics. i hadnt seen an army truck in the longest time and when i saw it on tuesday i was transported back to those memories... its a silly thing but tied up in my mind forever...
and yes. im sure that tree has a piece of you.
makes me think of "you wanna piece of me, punk!?"

Interesting pen
The freedom of a balloon on a string (Poetry) - 5/14/2007 7:35:58 PM
Visual and expressive in so few words. A great write! Brings to mind the emotions and tone of the classic award-winning 1956 French short-film entitled "Le Ballon rouge" (The Red Balloon") I grew up in the sixties and I think every kid must have seen the film in school. It holds its own today.
Anyway, Thanks for the write. Enjoyed.
