Thank you Princess Carroll

Dear Princess Carroll,

Thank you so much for placing a link to my website on your Book Marketing Network Page. I truly appreciate it that you thought enough of my work to do that.

I was interested in reading about your father, the King of Egbe. I was impressed with his credentials and all of the educational institutions he attended. My father was also a medical doctor, and graduated from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines, but after graduation came to the… Continue

Poem: Experiencing God

Experiencing God directly, is the way to go –

Be submerged in His Spirit, under His heavenly flow.

The lighted path to absolute freedom and peace

is accomplished from following Jehovah’s method of release.

The keys to Life’s issues are written in The Word;

open up your soul so the message can be heard.

God’s plan for your life will be ultimately revealed,

provided to Him you submit and your life you yield.

Demonstrate unwavering faith and be His… Continue

Poem: No Elaborate Pretense

Please forgive the simplicity of rhyme,

for I wish to be clear and take my time.

It’s never been “pc” to be Christian in any century,

out of step with the World, in what ones does or sees.

Having ideals may make me seem pompous,

even though I have no desire to impress.

I’m attempting to follow a Heavenly Plan,

by being a godly steward and serving fellow Man.

What I write from the heart, for me is real;

although as a guy, I’m… Continue

Blocked

I'm blocked and my outline has failed me. I keep hoping for a knock in the beanie to get me started again. My wife says I need a break. You see, I get up at 0345 to go to my day job. I get home just about 1500. I eat supper, and at 1600 I feed the four dogs finishing up around 1700. Then, it's quality time with wifey-poo. It's bed time at 2000 where I mull/meditate my next move with the book-usually keeping my mind going till 2300 or so when I finally go out. I think there's something wrong… Continue

Haikus: Exerpt #4 from: Hook, Line & Haiku

Breaching the surface

largemouth jumps up to see if…

It can hold its breath.

The pregnant fishes

lounge upon the riverbed

waiting to give birth.

Dancing smallmouth bass

pirouettes around boat

looking for handouts.

Learning never ends!

For even the fish will stay…

Forever in school.

Protective coating:

Slimy perspective to us;

Life saving to… Continue

Haikus: Exerpt #3 from: Hook, Line & Haiku

Hasta la pasta?

Annoying filament knots

of spaghetti spools.

The squeals of delight

flow from all fishing children

with uncontained joy.

Sounds of spinning spools

always brings me much comfort,

for I’m not at work.

Floating down the stream?

Not a dream, after dropping…

A bag of bobbers.

In early morning

anxious fish are awaiting

the autumn school… Continue
