These stories are mine.

They’re drawn from my own life, observations, and experiences.

And many times, I write of the odd way I see the world.

Most often I turn them into a story, once in a while, a song.

Enjoy your stay, but don’t expect the expected, because, most often, I don’t see things that way…

  • In a perfect world, such a life
    Outdoor freedom and chasing mice.

    However, in the area, which I live
    Only one guarantee I could give.

    Turkey vultures, Hawks, and more
    They spend their lives as prey and not much more.

    So for now, they’ll take their window scene, and afternoon trips to the backyard catio (16’x8’) in between.

    That’s an impressive amount of certainty about a life he’s never lived.

    He doesn’t know whose hand the man has held, what he’s lost, who he’s loved, what he’s given, or what he’s done when nobody was watching.

    Yet somehow he’s appointed himself qualified to measure another man’s humanity.

    That’s the irony here.

    He wrote an entire paragraph about compassion while demonstrating none.

    He wrote about love while using it as a weapon.

    And he condemned someone for thinking only of himself while never once considering that he might be wrong.

    If this is his demonstration of what it means to be human, he may want to choose a different example.







  • You actually got me thinking.

    If I set up a Patreon where I posted both versions—the raw poetry exactly as I originally wrote it, alongside the finished version after I used the language learning model to polish it up—would you be interested enough in seeing that process to subscribe?

    I’d be happy to put in the extra time to make something like that available if there were enough genuine interest to make the effort worthwhile.

    From my profile:

    The stories are mine. They’re drawn from my own life, observations, and experiences. The strange way I see the world.

    The language learning model (AI) doesn’t invent them—it simply helps me turn those stories into poetry. Think of it like using a ruler. I can draw a pretty straight line by hand, but if I already know exactly where I want the line, why not use the ruler?
