A wise child on the radio
Transcripts ruptured in a short tome
Of a story for the ages
But the pen lost its ink too soon
Holden reading from bathroom walls
Like Penrod's of this angst . . .

What is your greatest regret?
I guess it would be putting my job before my family when I was in my 40's. I was in charge of hiring part time teachers, all sophomore students, three committees (and . . .

No names left to employ
Or sweat from a day's wage
Day and night blend as one
In emptiness like pain
Of footsteps heard no more
To gird the sunken brow
Where hopes once had glimmered . . .

Lots of people looking at me
In still picture posted and was
A day clueless as my mantra
Was somehow left inside my car
But how could I not walk in awe
As history was being spawned
Into . . .

I cleaned the kitchen and I cleaned the floors
I cleaned and cleaned till I could clean no more
Then I remembered, unconscious oversight
Hair, soapsuds, other liquids, fancy word bright
Toilet water, . . .

About 15 years ago, I was camping with some students on a weekend in late October. As we sat around the late night campfire, another teacher thought it would be a good idea to tell ghost stories. . . .

Without passion what words could I say
In blending colors of our rainbow
As we traveled miles from warmer days
That led us here to our tomorrow
Yes we'll look back with a . . .

Tinsel the sound in sparkling eyes
Thinking of the reindeer ride
From the North Pole a Ho Ho Ho
As Santa climbs aboard and checks his roll
Are these little children good or bad
Oh I have . . .

Here I go again on a rant with rage and I'm not even in my car. I'll have to keep my finger holstered, the only weapon I have, since I'm sitting alone in front of my computer listening to my . . .

America, the land of the free, home of the brave and someone's wedding anniversary. As a child, I learned all you needed to know about wedding anniversaries from TV programs. It seemed years of . . .

I don't remember if it was last year or the year before that, but for some reason my mom had gotten out some old photographs of when I was cute. One photograph was of a large fountain in a park in . . .

The national news distorts the truth
Only six companies feed us news.
We need true debate to keep us free
Not the greedy few to steal our dream
True journalism is all but dead
Big pharma . . .

There are times I think tomorrow
Is a shadow without a face
And that of serendipity
Are but the clues we once had traced
In a backseat where words could flow
Finding stillness . . .

Why should I wallow in the dusty grave
Of a yesterday I could never change
Shouldn't those raindrops no longer erode
This beautiful morning I now behold
When did my childhood pretend . . .

I love Gather for the friends I've made and for a lot of other reasons too. I've met people from different countries, different states and some from four letter word states. I've had fun joking . . .

I've been thinking about something besides dandelions, bulls with cell phones or llamas for some time. No, this is not about the lack of rain in Texas, Norma's kicking and shiner punching lessons, . . .

If only crosses my mind: My mom and dad had spent a month visiting us. I had to work and drove to the airport on my lunch break to say goodbye. My wife and kids were in the lobby with my parents. I can't . . .

Most of us on Gather have our favorite groups, our favorite writers and some favorite friends. I hate, detest and abhor most, but not all, inbox invites to read articles. I am always interested in good . . .
