Quick Poem & An Update
You thought you had me down You thought you’d broke my will A sparkle in your eyes As you moved in for the kill Imagine your surprise When you felt the piercing blade The moment when you knew The mistake that you had made As you look into my eyes And see my bloodied grin…

Fields of Glass
Field of dreams like shattered glass A gaze into a broken past A life well lived in broken shards Beyond repair, not in the cards Fragments cutting, fingers bleed To see it whole there is no need You cannot fix it, do not try To try is just to live a lie Leave the pieces…

The Sound of Daydreams
My pick from this week’s No Theme Thursday images. The Sound of Daydreams Out on the stoop, the setting sun Her favorite song, you know the one You know the tune, you know the beat You hear it up and down the street The song that takes her breath away The one that makes her…

No Theme Thursday (02/29/24)
Good day, all and welcome to another edition of No Theme Thursday! Last week’s installment was another stellar success. We had fantastic entries from one and all. Every week, you continue to set the bar higher and higher! As much fun as I have making up images, the real enjoyment for me is seeing them…

Music Appreciation 101 w/Prof. Barbarian
Greetings, all! During a recent conversation with my little sister Aastha, the topic of music came up. She asked me what would a slightly out of shape barbarian listen to while he was training? Well, before music, he should probably listen to a nutritionist and put that second donut down. 😲 But on the topic…

NTT Challenge (02/22/24)
Good day to all! Once again, it is time to roll out this week’s entries in the NTT Challenge! This is one of my favorite days of the week, as I get to post all your awesome submissions for the No Theme Thursday images. As always, we had a variety of different takes, and as…

Ape Overboard!
Oh, this one is easy, since I am going through it right now. Thanks for the lob, WP. 😄 Losing my job a couple months back has been a really tough thing to say goodbye to. While ultimately I am better off, that doesn’t change the fact that I had invested thirteen-plus years of my…

To The Wolves
Beaten, scarred down to the bone To the wolves I have been thrown Laid out, broken on the ice Jaws around me like a vice Teeth are tearing through the skin A searing pain from deep within Flowing blood, it freezes fast To the wolves I have been cast I thrash about just to survive…

NTT Challenge (02/15/24)
Good day, all! It’s time for the No Theme Thursday (NTT) submissions for last week’s images! This is fast becoming one of my favorite days of the week, because I get to collect up all the incredible work everyone has posted and show it off for all to see! We had a stellar turnout again…

Favorite People
Since this one is fairly simple, I’m going to play it straight for a change. For me, it’s my kid, the rest of my family and my friends. I’m not the type of person that needs to be around a big crowd, have a massive social circle or anything of that nature. Sometimes the less…

Walking Away
I feel the need to walk away Perhaps return another day Times they change, and people too I feel at last my time is through Moving on, I don’t know where Without a clue, without a care A song once said ‘While it’s still fun” “Walk before they make me run” Within my head those…

SLDS Challenge (02/23/24)
Susan T. Braithwaite, I am truly annoyed at you right now. Every damned week, you make these prompts more challenging than the last. Again, this week, I had to fight my way through Hell and Creation to get a decent image for your SLDS Challenge. But at last, I think I have coaxed a reasonable…

On Patriotism
This is one of those prompts that I can see either being totally ignored or going horribly awry. I’m not going to get into politics or any of that nonsense. Every nation has it’s issues, and no land is perfect. I’ll just say that I served my country to the best of my ability and…

To quote Rob Halford…
Breaking the law! Breaking the law! British Steel. A bonafide metal classic. Now, onto the topic at hand. If I ever did break the law, intentionally, unintentionally, or otherwise, I certainly wouldn’t advertise it. 😄 So instead, I will just take the opportunity to post a couple banging tunes with a “jail” motif. Look at…

That’s Life!
That’s life, that’s life… That’s what all the people say. Well, first off, the assumption that anyone would want to read about my life is a pretty lofty one. 😄 But, for argument’s sake, we’ll assume that’s the case. I guess we need a title. How about… What Gorillas Really Think When You’re Not Around…

Prompt: 02/12/24
I’m keeping this one short and sweet today. Anyone who harms a woman or child should be severely punished. Prison is far, far better than they deserve. In the interest of decorum, I will leave the level of punishment I mean to your speculation.

Fantasy Friday (02/09/24)
TGIF, everyone! Hope the week was a good one and your weekend upcoming is even better. Today, we’ll take a trip back to the apothecary, pay a visit to the oracle, the priestess, and perhaps we’ll even encounter a gypsy caravan in our travels. There might be a little something for you romance fans out…

There can be only one
I mean, as much as I’d love to go outside the box here, I have to go with the very thing that’s allowing me to post this here reply. Yep, gotta say the internet. We could debate from now until the end of time whether it’s for the better or for the worse, but no…

Purge
If you knew the hate I feel inside The hate I’ve always tried to hide The hate that courses through my veins My wish for you, eternal pain To see you suffer, see you bleed Deep inside that’s what I need To see you shattered like a glass To see you drowning while I pass…

SLDS Challenge (02/09/24)
Once again this week I am partaking in Susan T. Braithwaite’s Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies Challenge. This week’s theme is: High-speed chase through a bustling city. This one pissed me off a lot. 😄 I can’t even count the number of attempts I took at this one. I tried every freaking scenario imaginable and…

Complaint Department
These days, I try not to complain to much if I can help it. I used to get frustrated a lot and bitch about multiple things, but ultimately, it rarely did much good. Most of the things were out of my control, and that frustrated me even more. Also, as a supervisor, I had a…

The Sporting Life
Growing up, I wasn’t really into team sports all that much. I never did the Little League, soccer, basketball, etc. thing. I would watch sports, but I had no desire to be involved with that stuff. I was always more of a loner, so my mom let me sign up for karate classes. I did…

Shades of Tenderness
Good morning and a happy Sunday to all! I wanted to take a moment to recognize Destiny over at Destiny’s Designz for taking up the gauntlet and completing my No Theme Thursday Challenge. I have teased her multiple times in a good-natured manner about this challenge, but in all seriousness, I am truly humbled and…

Limitless
Unstoppable.Why do you bemoan the walls before you?Do you not see your strength within?Invincible.Why are you laying there helpless?Have you given up the will to fight?Indomitable. Don’t you know you cannot be overcome?Is the fire in your belly gone out?Impenetrable.Has your armor rusted and fallen away?Has your shield been broken from too many blows?Boundless.You are…
