We built our home at the sea, No insurance, no fee, Sunrise & dolphins we could see, On the colors of our home we did agree� Party�s we had, Oh, they we never bad, Our home did make us both glad, Lived there we did since I was a tiny lad� The waves that day did come, From the sea that day we had to run, The wave did us succumb, Took away it did who I loved, my mum� � ed ~ Jan 2, 06

Yup. Imagine that photo came from the tsummi (sp?) Nature kicks ass, you better believe it. Ask Oklahoma. Ask California. Texas. The whole gulf coast of Mississippi, Louisiana.

I agree with Sandie, my friend - both a powerful poem and a powerful picture. The sea can truly be both friend and foe.

My many years with Authors Den will come to a close in May, thank you to all that has reviewed of me, I hope you all continue on to your own end...

Most likely my END or maybe NOT!

Yep, it''s that time of the year again, break out the credit card...

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...
