Her voice called to me in the night, musical and haunting; calling from beyond the crash of the surf.
A story I wrote initially as an experiement in emotion! It inspired the lovely Rose Moxon to create an image, so was my first RedBubble collaboration! This story was a finalist in the first Challenge Cafe comp!

A short poem I wrote a while back
Honostly, I have no idea where this came from, / it’s so out of character for me..but it told me to release it.. / so here it is..enjoy!

looking toward the future
And she will take each man to his grave, / And cast into the sea, her final wave, / So silently she slips & she is gone / Sinking into the …
It is here she makes him her unwilling friend / As he, of his love long lost is dreaming,
...Her full, blood red lips were moist and seemed to beckon… / ...As his desire intensified, John Black thought to himself ‘I must have …
She is perfectly aware of her power “Your next encounter will be with the Sirens, who bewitch every man that approaches them…For with the music of their song the Sirens cast their spell upon him, as they sit there in a meadow piled high with the mouldering skeletons of men, whose withered skin still hangs upon their bones…” Circe to Odysseus, The Odyssey, Book X11

The river of life
Their songs, of late, / Have been a constant comfort to me…
A poem written in response to a friend’s poem regarding sirens and their beautiful songs.
sirens upon the sea / singing through the mist / singing just to me
from a dream where / paintings sing…to you
you wove a web of wonders / ‘round my heart / and i became tangled / in your net / of nightingale dreams

Speed: 190 on the turn / Devil daring, no concern… / Suddenly, he had to swerve. / Leaving tracks of rubber burned!
Video Games VS Real Life: Driving is a poem that leads the reader to a connection between video driving games and the current, often dangerous and thoughtless situations that we find on our highways.

A strange little poem reminiscent of a Beatles song. I whipped this up in less than five minutes while waiting on my son to get off the school bus. This poem was published in 2004.
