Broken Rail/Broken Me
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Broken.” For this challenge, capture something broken: an old window, a vintage sign, a toy never fixed, a contemplative friend.

Enveloped In Love
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Enveloped.” When I think of the word enveloped, one thing comes to mind, love. Could you possibly be surrounded by anything better?

The Road To Chimney Rock
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “To Sleep, Perchance to Dream.” When I perchance to dream I often think of my childhood days spent within the Appalachian mountains.

School House Rock Was All I Needed
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Land of Confusion.” Okay folks, here’s the question: Which subject in school did you find impossible to master? Did math give you hives? Did English make you scream? Do tell! Math never gave me hives but I can say it taught me how to count on my…

Once Upon a Time in a Graveyard Past
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Forces of Nature.” I am a runner. I’m not a great runner. I’m certainly not a fast runner, but I do run so that makes me a runner. It has taken quite a while for this to resonate in my psyche. A slow process of evolution has given me the…
