Hi everyone, I'm back on here for an infrequent visit. My latest work is all at https://whiskyjackband.ca/ where you can hear recordings of my songwriting, some of which was originally published here as poetry on Wattpad, and some of which is new stuff I have written since. Feel free to connect with me on Insta and FB and YouTube via the website, or message me here. I love to hear from people.

I updated a few of my posts here with videos. In January 2024 I went into the studio with my band Whiskyjack and recorded 12 songs, several of which were poems first published here on Wattpad. One of the ones close to my heart is Bear Not My Pall

          Another one, "I Don't Believe" became part of a new song called Dance With the Jesus Who Brung You https://www.wattpad.com/175610063-o-keeper-i-don%27t-believe
          And Strange Journey was performed pretty much as written https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/10285443/write/152123910
          
          Please enjoy these recorded versions, as well as 9 other songs on all the streaming services. Download us on Bandcamp if you want to send financial support.
          
          Blessings to you all.

This summer it will be 10 years since I joined Wattpad.
          
          I'm not sure what, if anything I should do to mark that occasion, but I feel like I should do something. I have not been motivated to post much for a long time now, although I've never stopped writing entirely.
          
          Lately I've been writing more songs than poems, although it's all the same right? Sort of.
          
          I guess I'll just figure out what the Universe needs right now and then I'll publish that.
          
          Stay safe and well, everyone.

          Greetings everyone. I hope you are all safe and well.

Hello Dear Readers.
          I'm stopping by briefly, which I have not been doing very frequently as of late
          And I'll tell you that today my favourite new Wattpadder is @tuesdayhowarth
          https://www.wattpad.com/user/TuesdayHowarth
          She hasn't posted very much yet but I love the sticky throwaway lines woven into her poems. Like and Subscribe.

A requiem for a friend.

Here's another requiem. For another one who I remember well.
          "Mourning Comes"

New sonnet today.

          I was debating while looking at it if I put too many ideas into one piece. I might have.
          I'd be interested in your views on this one.

Here's something fresh that The Universe demanded I write down. It took a few days, but I think I've worked it out.
          I'd like your feedback. Tell me if this is harsh. It's not meant to be harsh. But if you read it twice, maybe it is. I don't know.

It's been close to five months, and you guys deserve more...
          I've been working on this poem for a month. During that time I've read Isaiah chapter 6 every night. This is my re-telling of that chapter.
