Welcome are the passionately curious

"There was one Elephant--a new Elephant--an Elephant's Child--who was full of 'satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions. And he lived in Africa, and he filled all Africa with his 'satiable curiosities." Rudyard Kipling

Moving Day

I'm beginning the process of moving all my blogs and jewelry/accessory info to Tumblr. I'm interested in too many things to have a separate blog for each of them. I don't think i'll disable this blog, but there will not be any new poems/analyses posted here. They'll all go onto my Tumblr blog, The Laconic Inkdrop.

CHEERS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Blog No. 2 Up and At 'Em

I've got another blog now--Nemesis Watching. I'll still use this blog, but the other site is more for the nitty-gritty, prosy side of life, whereas this one is more for creativity, literature, and art. I'll be writing about unemployment, economic and social ills and issues, and other such topics. Thanks for reading! Love you all near and far!

Is It


I’m sensing a stereotype developing

Warriors haunted with PTSD
Strike fear into their charges’ hearts,
As though the shepherds would devour
Their own lambs

I’m driven to ask
If there is not a soldier
Holed up within himself
Now, now that the champagne is quiet
And the confetti lies dead,

Unwilling to crawl out of his skull to so much
As kill a fly,
Staring out of his cells,
Thinking that to unlearn
The war in his hands
And take up gentleness again
Is not an effort more worthy
Than a quick and quiet self-violence
That might come easier than
Flaring out at an oblivious psychological trigger.
