Spreadsheet Blues
All your spreadsheets Charts and graphs You piss me off You make me laugh You are so clueless Such a fool A big diploma Got spreadsheet blues The above poem was written in exactly 59 seconds (which is about 58 more than they really deserve) and is dedicated to all the folks with big, fancy…

No Theme Thursday: 1/30/25
Featured image by Laura @ Black Moon Lilith Good day and welcome to this week’s edition of NTT! Coming off our one year anniversary extravaganza, it’s time to settle into a slightly new groove. Biweekly with a few less pics and we’ll see how it goes. As things always change and evolve, if this formula…

This Path
I am not here to serve you I am not here to save you I am not here to free you Nor am I to enslave you Remember what they gave you Remember, they betrayed you I am not here to teach you I care not if I reach you I care not to enrich…

Serenity
I hope everyone enjoys this poem. It was a distinct pleasure to put words to Laura’s beautiful photograph. I hope I did this fine image justice. As many of you likely saw from Laura’s recent post, she has been a bit under the weather as of late, in addition to a hectic work schedule. She…

Ode To Our Lands
01/16/25: This was one of the first times I actually wrote a post for my own NTT challenge, and it is one I have always been quite proud of. To mark one year of NTT, I am reposting it again today. Again this week, I am going to take a shot at an image for…

No Theme Thursday: 01.16.25 (First Anniversary Edition)
Greetings all, and welcome. Almost one year ago this week, I published my very first No Theme Thursday post. This was never meant to be a challenge, really. It was just an excuse for me to post images I had generated. Most other days of the week had a theme at the time, but I…

NTT Showcase: 01.02.25 Edition
Hey folks. Welcome! It’s been a very wild week since returning to work from holiday. Currently, I feel like I am neither here nor there as far as, well…everything. 😄 Trying to shake it off and get back to whatever passes for normal, but in the meantime, I’ll be tumbling down the stairs sideways! Thank…

Review: Ink Stained Love
Yes, gorillas can read. I will preface this by stating that I have never written a review for anything before, so this is completely new territory for me. The following are just a few thoughts I wished to share. Ink Stained Love is the first published book by our very own Ernest Federspiel, AKA: E-Dawg,…

Daylight
Good day to all. I hope you enjoy this collaboration that I am presenting to you today. Once again, Laura was able to match some beautiful words to the image I provided. The picture was taken last week early in the morning when I was outside enjoying some cool, quiet air. The feeling of serenity…

Impending Storm
The above is another collaborative effort using Laura’s image and my words. This picture immediately made me think “storm”, which led to the work you see above. While it is a bit dark, this is the message the image sent to me when I looked at it. I hope you enjoy this piece.

Valhalla Morn
Special thanks to Laura for combining the words and picture in the above piece. The red sky in the above image spoke to me in tones of war. While there is nothing glamorous about warfare, there is a certain nobility to the warrior. To know the risks of battle and still step onto the field,…

Twilight
The above poem is Laura’s creation using photos that I provided. The way she put this together is quite fascinating and truly captures the various stages of a sunset. As I read it, the feel is very reminiscent of watching the sun go down in real time. As you read, you can almost feel yourself…

Today
Now that Laura has been able to post again, I wanted to share one of our recent collaborative efforts. Even though neither of us has been able to be online a lot as of late, and we’ve both had our own creative struggles, we did manage to put together a few things that I enjoyed…

NTT Showcase: 12.14.24 Edition
Hello all, and welcome to the final NTT Showcase of 2024. Looking back, it’s been a heck of a year in many, many ways. But looking back at this specifically, it’s been case of growing bigger and bigger every week. To a degree that is, quite frankly, shocking to me. 😄 I would not have…

No Theme Thursday (Weekend Edition): 12.14.24
Hello all and welcome to this (slightly) late edition of NTT. Apologies, but due to health issues, things are not lining up completely yet. I am going to run this NTT a bit longer and ask that folks have their submissions completed by Sunday, 12/22/24. I will then post the round up on 12/23/24 for…

NTT Showcase: 12.05.24 Edition
Hello folks, and welcome to this week’s Showcase. My apologies for the short and sweet introduction this week. I am still not operating at 100%. Please accept my sincerest thanks for all your excellent creations. As always, they were a joy to read. Your participation is greatly appreciated. 😊 If I missed any due to…

Ink Stained Love
Today I received a very pleasant surprise in my mailbox. When I went to fetch my mail, I found a package from our very own E-Dawg, Ernest Federspiel. Within said package was a brand spanking new copy of his first published book, Ink Stained Love, with a personal message from the author himself! To say…

This Crushing Weight
This crushing weight, within, without A whisper here is like a shout An agonizing, painful cry Too much to live, yet not to die Pressure pushing ever down Wear it like a broken crown You bear it always, this you must Drifting dreams amidst the dust Forgotten laughter gone away But from this path you…

In Darkest Heart (Poem)
Edit: I was just rereading this poem from way back months ago and decided to repost it today. I have changed a few words for purposes of flow, but the core remains intact. In darkest heart is where I dwell Deep within this sweltering hell Far from life and far from love Far from Heaven,…

NTT Showcase: 11.14.24 Edition
If we’re going out, we’re going out in style, baby. So, here we are at last. The last NTT Showcase before our little hiatus. While I still plan to be around, NTT is going on it’s little break until 12/05/24. I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to once again thank…
