Midweek Poems – Defining a Grateful Successographer
I accept my patterns of envy have limited my growth in the past And that I have nothing to fear, Nor any logical reason to compare my current self to that of others.

Midweek Poems – Have you read the poet?
Have you read Irving Layton? I hear he’s fantastic But only his smiles imprint indelible images upon my mind like the detached wing of a fly. Have you listened to Whitman?

Midweek Poems – “I Love my Baby, My Baby Don’t Love Me”… R. Johnson
We can sit and stare at each other for hours, but have nothing to say. We can walk happily hand in hand for miles, but she can’t make love to me.
