Stretching the truth: scene one.

A restful time at the beach.

A short story based on my own experiences as a survivor of childhood abuse.

Late evening poetry.

A poem about how the general population can single a person out based simply on the person that they are. We may not have been that person in school, but we probably knew of that person in school, or at the very least, heard of that person.

A poem, what it is about is for you to decide.

Paloma is a Spanish feminine given name meaning "dove".

Doves are common in California and the Pacific Northwest in general. Their beauty has been the muse in many poems and also the reason two cities that I am aware of in California are named after these birds.

#1 Paloma, California, in Calaveras County, California
#2 Paloma, Kern County, California.

Love sometimes walks the waters still,
Laughter throws back her radiant head;
Utterly beauty is not gone,
And wonder is not wholly dead.
The starry, mortal world rolls on;
Between sweet sounds and silences,
With new, strange wines her beakers brim:
He lost his heritage with these
Last year, and who remembers him?

DIARY, FINAL ENTRY.

A poem of whatever you want it to be.
