Portfolio including poetry and flash fiction from micro fiction to short stories and a bit of photography thrown in for good measure.
Dusty, creaky, ancient
But I still got my moves
Maybe a little slower
My hips don’t lie though
Sometimes they cry
And maybe I roar like a dinosaur
Climbing over the hill
Archaeologists think I’m a pretty good find
The prompt is “dancing with a dinosaur” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 4, National Poetry Month 2022.
And now a brief break from April’s poetry barrage to bring you a few pictures of one of my other hobbies, rock painting.
I do rock painting, hiding and hunting around town when I have time.
My three-year old has even got involved.

Twenty dollar sundress
In the second-hand store
Ironically sun-faded in the window by the door
A little pricey if you ask me
Since it’s already seen its heyday, for sure
The clerk says no discount though
even though I made my case
I’m doing it a favor, I say
Another day in the sun on a Sunday
At the ladies’ luncheon, that’s the place
I’ll say grace with one eye open and a smile upon my face
The prompt is “twenty dollar sundress” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 3, National Poetry Month 2022.
Broken
Birthed
Crumbling earth
Seeking first
The kingdom and our worth
Buried deep
Beneath our feet
Growing restless
As it festers
The seed
Of our destruction
Broken
Birthed
The prompt is “broken birth” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 2, National Poetry Month 2022.
Bitter
Bite, burnt my tongue
Caffeinated lava flowing
Toward my soul
Accursed awakening
Gas station coffee
Morning ritual
The prompt is “gas station coffee” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 1, National Poetry Month 2022.
I have decided to try to participate in National Poetry Month this year. I will be using the following prompts from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram.
Being a parent is very time consuming. I will post my poetry throughout the month of April. To those of you still around, thanks for reading!
