Escape from Blanche
Escape from Blanche
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. Edgar Allen Poe

Do you find me
attractive
In my skirt of
Papyrus?
Come
I’ve prepared
for us
A delectable
Sulphur butterfly
Afterwards
we can relax and
watch the orb
weaver spin
a web
Trust me
I’m not like the
Others

Photo immersion
I think I shall never see
I’m no big shot show off when it comes to photography. I prefer to not let anyone know I’m even toting a camera. I loathe going out with my overly big and heavy telephoto, as it’s akin to a fisherman fishing for brim with a marlin rig.
I got great amusement watching this self absorbed photographer taking every angle possible of this one tree.
My Kentucky long
Oh Kentucky, when I am lonely and the autumn breezes chill me, in your bluegrass hills I long to be, place of boyhood spills and college thrills, where ever I have roamed, from Florida's sands to West Virginia's mines, always it seems I am drawn, to the Kentucky I once called home.

Chickens
Tonight thanks to my friend Ray Carpenter we added six one year old hens to our flock. We have them in the side pen for now. Will have to make a roost and nest boxes. Also, Ray said we would have his goldfish and koi.
My sister and I went to vote today. Trump of course. I also finally got my photos from the Gallery for the art show.
Dead heads
Dead Heads
Upon the walls of the dead
They scrawl in their sin
Seeking the Grateful Head
No world for old men
The fat they stare back
In the slaughter stalls
In one morbid whack
The fatted calf falls
Who are these bastards
Depraved Roman ones
Void of the redeeming Word
My son, your son, we shun.
