Category Archives: field notes. To make a cube bookshelf. July 11, 2016. Because she asked for a bookshelf, I built one. A simple cube bookshelf was the plan. Nothing fancy. Something simple and useful. Something to fit under the window. To begin with, I visited the local lumber shop for 1″x12″s and 1″x2″ pine boards. Also, I picked up some screws and finishing nails. Already had wood glue, left over wood stain and finish in the garage. Request for a companion cube bookshelf arrived. More wood was pu...

Leaving the oak grove office. September 1, 2015. The summer is at an end. Or at least the American tradition of the start of school and Labor Day signify the end of summer. And so, my work at the oak grove office has also concluded. From the shade of oak trees, I hand-lettered and hand-painted signs for a Renaissance Faire. An anachronistic skill for these highly digital, automated modern times. He asked for my brush. Loaded it with some black. Mixed in some white. A little blue. Touched ...He took a sea...

How to write a book in 15 minutes. May 22, 2015. 8220;Give me I subject to write about,” I challenged the oldest kindlinger. It was lunch break and I was home for tea and toast.

The oldest kidlinger was dubious of the handmade mini-book. The younger kidlinger was all smiles. Their mother read it aloud&#...May 2...

Newer posts →. One week to go with the write 30 poems in 30 days challenge. April 22, 2016. Do you write every day? Not typing or texting, but composing ideas and narratives and lines of poetry? Earlier this month, I sat in a coffeehouse for almost an hour during a late lunch break and all I was able to produce was a 15-line sketch. A rough sketch, but the general motif and elements of the composition were represented. RELATED BLOG POSTS and NOTES:. 1] April write 30 poems in 30 days. April 21, 2016.

June 21, 2016. The intent was to watch the sun set and watch full, strawberry moon rise on the summer solstice. [1]. But I fell asleep and awoke after 1 am cloudy, nighttime pondering of lessons in risk management. [2]. A few hours later, I watch the light brighten the room [3]. As I prepare for a morning walk. 1] Bob Berman, “Summer Solstice Full Moon in June! The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

April – write 30 poems in 30 days. April 15, 2016. It is April 15th. If you are participating in the 30 poems in 30 days challenge, than you are half way there! Some of the results of the daily discipline of writing looks more like sketches rather than fully composed poems. Nothing yet looks like a Coleridge “Kubla Khan” or a Ginsberg “Howl” or even a Bashō haiku. A few sparkling lines, but a lot of raw material. Fifteen days down. Fifteen to go. And then the editing begins. Tagged 30 poems in 30 days.

Tag Archives: poetry on demand. June 3, 2015. A challenge motivates me to think of solutions. In this case, the challenge was inspired by a reader of this blog who commented: “It would be lovely to cover a little box with beautiful words…” Great idea! After a couple concepts and a couple drafts of what I hope are “beautiful words” here is a custom origami box of poetry. The reward is to watch the user/reader pick up the box and decipher the order of the poem. Front] “Box of poetry”. Click to share on Tum...
