I am always working on a number of secret projects, and sometimes I like to tease them. What follows is a small sampling (2 poems) of some of the stuff I've been working on the past few months. I've been dealing with poetry lately, which is an all-new ballgame...

When the sun is setting slowly
In the dusk across the land, And the stars have risen out of slumber From beneath the roaring sand Come the things that dance into the night, And twirl against the moon. And the Prairie eyed man will rise And come for you soon The clouds barrel on before you And they're lost behind the hills, While the Prairie eyed man awaits His midnight thrills He took hands with the swirling haze And tip toed through the darkness, And he smiled wider than ever before Bearing all to whom would witness His time was swept away In the raging winds which came, And the music carried out to sea And was never felt the same. Tanner F. Riche The following is a fairly short fantasy-based story I recently wrote about nightmares and living and how everything mixes together. The true plot is yours to understand as you see it. In my stories, I like to leave all the doors open... I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING insomnia for some time now. I don’t know what started it, perhaps stress. Nothing had drastically changed. I took to having a couple shots of scotch before bed, under the impression that it would help me. It made for a good drink, and it relaxed me, but that was all. I opened a window to cool my room down, let the night’s chill circle around my room, hoping perhaps it would help. It didn’t. I still lay awake in the dark room, staring at the ceiling and wondering why the hell I was the way I was.
I realise I am a year late with this response. However, the topic arose, I wrote my thoughts on it, and I have decided I would like to share them with you. This is my response to a collection of six articles on the web talking about the Charlottesville incident last August and what should be done with American confederate monuments. ~
My opinion on the whole confederate monument fiasco which sparked last year is, for the most part, divided. I do believe that part of what they represent is terrible, and they should not glorify parts of America’s past. Thus, they should be removed. However, they should not be completely removed. Though Davidson brought this point up in his article as something rather critical, I agree with the idea: put them in museums! I don’t think they should be destroyed by any means. After all, as several articles point out, whether we like it or not, it is part of America’s past – or the whole world’s. |
