  • Write a story for us

prayers

no our fathers

hail marys

simply simple

pleas ,

for as i grow

old

of mind and bones

give me

a strength of soul

above all

and lest

i fall

for a moment

guide me towards

a shoulder

to rest

simple pleas

sincerely ,

all that i am

now and then

  • Write a story for us

One of these days, you are going to win the monthly blog contest for one of your poems depicting the streets of San Diego--it will happen now that fiction won, I have no doubt. Just keep writing and posting and bust us through that wall. Your last few poems have changed (in voice?) yet again. Think Nan mentioned it a few posts ago...just an awesome unfolding it's been, reading you over this past year. Seriously. Its been quite inspiring and --an honor really--to witness. So thanks for sharing your writing and yourself with us here on the poetry blog at the Reader--when you could just as easily chose to grace some other publication. You and the other creative writers here make the Reader a better place--in my opinion.
