This is funny and serious at the same time. What a feat!
Saying Goodbye to a Husband and Father (Article) - 4/27/2009 9:24:39 PM
I'm sorry, but this is a load of garbage. The same man that takes his son to a strip club is supposedly a loving and devoted husband that can't live without his wife? This man is supposed to be so great? He sings in the Church choir, but hits the topless clubs and drinks while his wife is away? Jesus says in the book of Matthew that looking at a woman lustfully is committing adultery with her in your heart. This man is an adulterer and we're supposed to believe he can't live without his wife? Real great guy.
How My Parents Got Rich--and How You Can Too (Article) - 3/24/2009 9:04:16 PM
This is very informative and practical and very timely. My parents were married just before World War II - and after the war, my Dad managed to earn his college degree by working as a tram train conductor by day and going to nights classes. This article reminds me of generation. Thanks for sharing.

Footless Flyer (Article) - 2/22/2009 5:46:31 PM
This story hits close to home...as my Bourke parrot, Kickstand, has lived with one leg now for the past 11 years, He would perch on the rope perch for hours and sometimes sleep on it. He lost his leg at 6 months old from a fight with another male Bourke during the shipping from Australia. He is now nearing 12-they usually live for 12-15 years. He has not perched on his rope for the past 5 months..instead he sits in front of his mirror on the bottom of the cage and sings to his reflection. He has a nest, food and water in the bottom...and he seems happy! This hummingbird has no legs...and I imagine has adapted to maneuvering without any. Bless that little bird!

Incredible story; wow!
Did We Get Suckered in Algeciras? (Article) - 11/15/2008 3:49:07 PM
Alan, I hate to say this, but after hearing stories similar to yours in San Diego, where we live, we learn people are the same all over the world, and we probably would NOT give the couple money. Which isn't to say you did wrong. I applaud you and your wife for your good deed. I also read several of your other poems and enjoyed them immensely.

War (Poetry) - 12/1/2009 4:56:04 AM
There would certainly be a difference in the amount of time it would take to end a war. Us old folks don't have the patience those young'uns have so we'd just have to do the deed and get our butts back home. We have tv to watch and SS to collect. lol
Great thoughts here Alan.

Very good. I enjoyed that. clever insight you have!
War (Poetry) - 11/30/2009 12:58:52 PM
WELL, For a start, there would be soldiers chatting on about incometax-whats new at the lotty-the price of pile cream-the price of fish and chips-and they don't make guns like they used to.
lol-lol
Great thoughts of you writing a little longer next time please? hurry!

Sweater Girl (Poetry) - 8/5/2009 3:50:27 PM
When a guy sees a girl in a nice sweater, he wonders what is underneath. When a guy sees a girl a something else, he wonders what she'd look like in a nice sweater. Some things might be in sight, but they are probably not in reach. Great write.
Sweater Girl (Poetry) - 8/5/2009 3:14:46 PM

Ray Bradbury (Poetry) - 6/29/2009 4:54:07 PM
I hadn't read this one of yours, I love it- Ray Bradbury's book on writing is one of the biggest inspirations for why I write, and the film of "Something Wicked This Way Comes," was another huge inspiration for my writing from childhood, so this poem clicks with me big time :)
Mountains (Poetry) - 6/29/2009 4:50:04 PM
Yes, I see what you mean! This is really well-written, Alan, I am so glad you did decide to post it. Yaaay! :) Nature is such an inspiration, isn't it?
Keep on Truckin' (Poetry) - 6/22/2009 10:26:51 AM
You are so correct in this tightly-written little poem. So many people, be it in writing or something else, have lots of excuses why they can't do things, but your poem sets that straight.

Profoundly sound advice...

Berlin Wall (1961-1989) (Poetry) - 3/31/2009 1:21:18 PM
Thanks for reminding us of those who braved enormous odds to be free and also for reminding us of wonderful day now almost 20 yers ago.
Ace (Poetry) - 3/31/2009 1:16:23 PM
Thank you for this trip into the mind of a young athlete. I've been a sportswriter for almost 20 years and I still don't completely appreciate what these kids have to go through.
Majorette (Poetry) - 3/11/2009 2:44:24 PM
Cute and very lively...
