A deathly silence makes me wonder where the inmates are, till shadows start creeping out soundlessly. I’ve met you before – my beliefs, acts, regrets and desires. I believed you are part of me, but today I face you like former teammates. Why did you drive me to do certain things, and why did I … Continue reading Where I grew up

Forever — by Jude Itakali
The undying wish
Beyond mind’s mortality
Unscratchable itch
When the inner child creates
In words, code, or deed
They seek companionship
That, which never leaves
Theirs to claim, at beck and call
For though they may notknow it
It is forever
That they make from love
Happy birthday to Colleen. I wrote the choka syllabic poem above for her and hers. As well as tankatuesday. She is my book-cover designer but she does much more than that and I appreciate her so much.

Happy and Aria fight like cats and dogs. The bone of contention can well be a bone – wooden or a treat, or it can be a squeaky toy. Do I need to say they are both tiny furballs with cute tails and dark eyes? Happy is down with a stomach infection, and Aria refuses … Continue reading Fragility and Tenacity

Why did I create a cheaper alternative to myself? It gives me a sense of superiority. I fully believe people will pay more to hire my creative brain, which can create more of such alternatives. Somewhere in the backyard, beautiful plastic plants grow with flowers in colours never seen before. Standards and expectations change. Fragrance … Continue reading Weeds

The trimming of his sales ….by Ron
I took yesterday off from blogging (in case you didn’t notice) and dedicated it, instead, to enjoying some alternative adventures with My Beloved Sandra.
I may be taking today off, too; we’ll see.
Meanwhile, I’m addressing today’s Writer’s Digest Prompt: Write a “(Blank) Of The (Blank)” poem…
——[||]——
The Trimming Of His Sales
The cover of his latest book
has no picture, no promo, no preview.
The cover of his latest book is blank
like all of its several hundred pages.
The editors of his latest book
had to make some tough choices:
nothing before or after nothing?
six blank pages after the blankest page
or only five? (It’s important to
let the reader rest their eyes.)
The language in his latest book
seems like it’s for adults only.
The biggest fans of his latest book
stare menacingly at its critics, dismayed.
