I always feel like my prose stuff doesn’t get the limelight on here like my poetry does, so in a rather shameful act of self-promotion, I am linking several of my reblogged short pieces in this one post, hoping to get a few more reads…that is “reads” not just “likes”…I just hope it works, ‘cause every time I promote my own stuff I feel so dirty afterwards, lol

With vodka: to recreate the feeling

I fail with my endeavour
(I fail at most things…)
I blame bad parenting
Or the lack of --

When Funny goes to die

When funny goes to die // slowly through illness // terminally ill goes stumbling and dies // right there before us - funny has died // there are only tears left here // not of the happy type // not the type they deserve // a funny man // a funny woman // funny has died // rest in peace

Daily Dally

Your daily routine
The contemplation of experiences
Or that which you call life
will to a greater extent improve
Once you realise that
in an equation of only constants —
