#…destiny’s future…#
Poem compliments of the inimitable Lady Destiny of Destiny’s Designz She is currently on a break, but left this little gem in the comment section of the NTT thread for 04/25. With her blessing, I am posting it here. Destiny, thank you, and we look forward to your return when you are ready and able.…

Firewatch
I sit up with the rising sun This firewatch is almost done Inhale the smoke from cigarette Another night I’ll soon forget I watch the minutes crawl along I think of old forgotten songs Anything to pass the time I swear this boredom is a crime All the boys are fast asleep I’m off to…

Oh, come on now…
Really? No. Not doing it. Get the hell out of here with that silly shit. You really couldn’t be more repetitive if you tried, WP. But, please don’t try, for I fear you would prove me wrong and lower the bar even further. Get the hell outta here.

Of The Setting Sun
As the sun sets on another day I reflect on all that’s come my way The good, the bad, the in-between I ponder what it all could mean Reflect on choices, good and bad Look back on moments, bright and sad The weathered storms, the broken dreams The quiet and the fractured screams The victories…

Semper Fi!
I would have to say joining the service was a risk I didn’t regret. It was a time in my life when I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with myself, so it gave me a direction and a purpose when I needed one. It also showed me that I was capable of…

NTT Challenge: 04/18/24 Edition
Good day to all, and yes, I am late again. 😄 My sincerest apologies, but I had to work yesterday, so my timing was a bit off. Here are the submissions for last week’s NTT Challenge. As always, a fantastic group of works. I am humbled by all the greatness! Y’all kick ass! Since time…

The Subtle Art of Giving Up
A momentary lapse For a moment I forgot I had found the will to fight And then I asked myself for what? Swim against the tide Or climbing up a hill I thought it paid to try But I find I’ve had my fill Chasing down a dream But I found it’s just a joke…

Mystery Unbound
A winding road in dark of night A quiet march in search of light The cool night air my only friend Upon a path that has no end The moon is watching over me My thoughts adrift and floating feee A dreamscape lying up ahead A map of mind that’s left unread I walk this…

Takeaway Tuesday
Good day to all in WP Land. Hope everyone is doing well. Personally, I have a splitting freaking headache as I type this. Hopefully, when future me awakens, it has passed. Note to past me: Make sure you take fucking Advil, dumbass. 😄 Anyhow, other than that, not much on the plate except work today.…

All Too Easy
This one’s a piece of cake. I’d have started looking for a job the second I had that feeling in my gut that things were going to go terribly awry. If I had just listened to my instincts and started looking to get the hell out of Dodge, I might not have been sick and…

Lunar Musings
I stare into a blackened sky I see the moon is rising high My mind alive with many thoughts Some of them I paused and caught Somewhere a love comes to an end Somewhere a heart begins to mend Somewhere a child has gone to sleep Somewhere a girl begins to weep Somewhere a limit…

Burger Bliss
When I find I’m feeling down I take a drive into the town To a diner oh-so quaint Not fine dining, no it ain’t Chicken’s good, the breakfast too But what I tell you, this is true The burger’s what I came here for I order one, sometimes one more The melted cheddar, golden love…

Malingering Monday
Good morning, and welcome back to Monday, everyone. That ruthless rapscallion of the work week. Time to pay your penance for that two days of false peace and contentment. 😄 In all seriousness, my best wishes for everyone that the week treats you well, and it goes as smoothly as possible. I am anticipating a…

Mostly Silly Stuff
It’s not usually the big stuff that gets me nervous. It’s usually silly little stuff like making a post or going to a party where I don’t know anyone. It used to be stuff like job interviews, etc., but those don’t bother me much at all anymore. Maybe because I know my skill set now…

At Dusk
At dusk I watch the setting sun A time to stand, no need to run A peaceful calm like satin sheets The scent of Spring on air so sweet A chirping bird heard here and there As for their respite they prepare The auburn sky I gaze upon With Mother Nature I am one In…

Fate & Destination
I need you in my life I guess I always knew I did I felt it deep inside But I always kept it hid Afraid you may reject me Or afraid that you would not Was it fate and destination? I never really gave a thought I denied the joy you bring me Worried what…

Secrets of the Night
In the forest after midnight She walks a path alone Among the owl and the pine Is where she truly feels at home A universe wide open Secrets many it can tell If you only listen closely It can teach it’s many spells The moon is like a mother A glowing, guiding hand The air…

Night Strolling
I went out strolling late last night Beneath a moon that shimmered bright The streets were silent, not a sound Was not another soul around The houses dark, all fast asleep With Morpheus they slumber deep The evening cool, a gentle breeze I walk unfettered where I please A peaceful shroud encircles me Here in…

PWS
Pizza Whiskey Sleep To be fair, the whiskey and pizza are not overly regular occurrences. The most important one to me, particularly after starting a job with 12 hour shifts, is sleep. However, if a day is particularly rough, I might indulge a bit. Nothing crazy, mind you. Just enough to take the edge off,…

Iron G in the House
So, as I said earlier today, I was going to try another of my incredibly stupid, “why would anyone willingly do that?” workout experiments. Due to my current work environment, the need to be able to move easily under high heat, high stress conditions with a modicum of strength is paramount. I am not in…

Sardonically Serious Saturday
Because I couldn’t think of any other title mostly. 🤷♂️ Hope everyone’s weekend is going well so far. It’s looking to be a quiet and rainy one around here. By the time this posts, I should have started my next experimental workout. One thing I figured out on this new job is I need to…

WP is the main jam
I don’t really do much other than WP. Never really had the urge. And overall, other social media just seems too pissy to me. I get enough of that in daily life that I don’t feel I need any more. Everyone I talk to always seems agitated when they get off their pages, and it…

Knight So Black
Once I rode a horse so white Fought for all that’s good and right I had a code, I had a creed Helping others when in need My heart was pure like driven snow From mountain high to valley low My deeds were praised in joyous song And then one day it all went wrong…

Forked Up Friday
As another week draws to a close, I sit here tired, sore and contemplating life over coffee number two; soon to be coffee number three, for those keeping score. My moods have been up and down for a couple weeks now, as most of you are painfully aware. Quite truthfully, they still are. And that…
