Sidmouth Folk (Short Story) - 5/12/2025 8:34:27 AM
This is delightful! …such an authentic atmosphere
is conjured up for our entertainment…
what could be a better experience on a sunny morning…
than the music of Wapweasel no less, a salt tang in the air and strains of When I’m Cleaning Windows?!
Man you were walking in Sidmouth!

The Iranian Hat (Short Story) - 12/28/2005 7:18:38 PM
You did your art tutor proud. This highly original work is truly exceptional. Enjoyed it very much.
The Iranian Hat (Short Story) - 12/26/2005 10:44:26 AM
This is a good idea to place this also in the story category, as the first time I reviewed The Iranian Hat in the poem category. It easily fits both 7 1/4 and 7 3/8 as I call it a well-fitting story poem. This poem wears two hats, my friend. I think you should even blog it! Multi-cultures read hats. Perhaps you should start a hat blog! I think it would be so VERY popular, maybe even start a craze. Look at how many kinds of hats there are and how many cultures wear hats for different reasons and seasons. I like your way of marketing hats, Kenny. I am still laughing at that fez. I always look under the bed in case I forget where I laid her...
Sage
The Iranian Hat (Short Story) - 12/25/2005 3:31:26 PM

IN EVERYTHING BUT AN EGG (Poetry) - 9/27/2026 4:00:36 PM
I never read Seamus Heaney, but I since you are referring to his poetry. Particularly with your line about the egg. Perhaps it is because only women carry eggs, not men.
From my childhood that my uncles farm, I recall vividly that what is on the top of potato stocks is a hey dudebug that we took buckets with wooden sticks to knock them off into the bucket. Then take them and dump them in a fire that my uncle made to burn them.
Ron
TUBBER PATRICK (Poetry) - 9/27/2026 3:42:51 PM
I'm not sure what you are referring to in this poem except the separation that World War II caused.
However, I spotted, and verified that sexy pinup of Rita Hayworth that so many GIs from the US took with them overseas to war as their only girlfriend, knowing they may never come back to get a real one.

PIGEON FROM THE NORTH (Poetry) - 9/21/2026 2:33:47 PM
I've got mixed feelings about pigeons in the square.
Once helped a farmer remove some of the flock of pigeons living in his barn and ruining the hay with their droppings.
Using Herter's bacon wrap wild taste removal, Mom baked about 25 breasts for us. Better than Cornish hen.

WHO ARE YOU WRITING FOR (Poetry) - 9/19/2026 3:56:34 PM

Look (Poetry) - 9/19/2026 3:47:49 PM
Thank you for the brief peek at the way Scotland was and the way it is today. With much more culture than the average American except in New York City.
Countries go through stages. We have the same losses of coal mining and ship building here. The British Isles accumulated great wealth through the colonial and early industrial period. That wealth carries on today.
When one can work a decent job without having to crawl through a coal seam only 24 inches tall, people are reluctant to take on those jobs even if they were available now that most of that work involves big machinery run by very few people.
The wealthy in the US and the UK live off the earnings from their wealth. They engage in cultural activities and require primarily wage slaves to carry out most of what they need to have done.
Arts and culture should be available to everyone, but they are not.
Ron
PAISLEY PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE (Poetry) - 9/18/2026 6:43:37 PM
Certainly, some great sights according to your poem. Especially of the ducks and of the grandness of the place.
But it seems like manor houses like this with multiple windows and a huge, cliff-like appearance, seem to always be barren of any landscaping in front. Just a huge flat area of dirt, gravel, cobblestone, brick or even concrete.
The result is, they look very dreary and dismal places to live in. Especially if it's a single family with all those empty rooms used only when great events take place and the huge area in front of the manner probably was filled with carriages. Now filled with cars.
Like here in America, they pave paradise and put up a parking lot.
Ron
HAMSTERS IN BAD HOMBURG (Poetry) - 9/14/2026 6:10:16 PM
I guess it's called settling down. But you're right about the boring.
Coincidentally, the dynamo leader of my writers group, who has worked in some legal capacity most of her life, is a former biker chick. A fellow biker rider and her, have a website on motorcycle safety and have published several books on the matter.

Troll Facts (Poetry) - 9/11/2026 7:45:18 PM
Magic mushrooms?

JACARANDA IN DREAMS (Poetry) - 9/8/2026 7:16:38 PM
A very interesting wish list from Scotland were many wish to visit, but perhaps, not to live.
I only saw a Jacaranda tree in bloom once. At my brother's place in Phoenix. It doesn't appear to be invasive, but likes the warmer regions of the US of A. Perhaps in my backyard.
Climate change is causing a great migration and Scotland is one of the destinations. So is Australia. Australia is probably having more migrate to its best continent than any other place on the Earth.
Our president is claiming to love workers while throwing out all of our migrant workers. Is that a contradiction? Sure is.
Ron
Autumn (Poetry) - 9/6/2026 4:57:02 PM

STANDARD POODLE (Poetry) - 9/6/2026 4:51:03 PM
That's a kind of weird personification. Royal.
My brother bought a standard poodle one time, but had to let it go because he thought it would harm his young daughters.
My cousin in California had a substandard (smaller) poodle she named Tawny. That little girl had the unique ability to catch a thrown ball just after it made a bounce. She had many puppies and could swim like a fish. None of her puppies could do that bounce catch like her.
When my cousin died in her bed. Four of Tawny's puppies guarded her with their lives when they came to remove the body.

BUTTERFLIES (Poetry) - 9/2/2026 7:51:44 PM
I don't believe in the afterlife, but it's an interesting concept that you presented. Comparing the butterfly with a life with some kind of great colorful god in the heavens of our imagination.
Ron
BUTTERFLIES (Poetry) - 9/2/2026 10:05:49 AM
Lovely. Butterflies are so inspirational.
HOLLY BLUE (Poetry) - 8/26/2026 8:52:58 AM
Truly, a beautiful butterfly worth a poem like this.
I haven't seen one here, but they are in North America. We are seeing a pseudo monarch (mimicking the monarch with it poisonous characteristics for protection), a beautiful black swallowtail with blue, red and yellow eye markings, a medium sized brown and yellow butterfly, and finally, the majestic giant swallowtail in yellow and black.
Ron
THE LADY OF THE MANOR (Poetry) - 8/19/2026 11:48:48 AM

But I will run with the sun…"little darling, here it comes, here it comes, the sun…sun…son."

Veggie Restaurant Girls (Poetry) - 8/19/2026 11:43:58 AM
I understand the urge. Especially with those swaying hips and elegant fingertips. But no matter how much sauce you put on your veggies, they're still just veggies.
I just ate my lunch of carrots, radishes, and celery with a little liver sausage to add protein…my meat of the midday.

OSCAR'S WASTEPAPER BASKET (Poetry) - 8/14/2026 11:27:20 AM
Indeed, nicely done.
His fairytales tended to over-explain at the end, rather than trust the reader to draw their own conclusions. Yet his prose and poetry are up there with — and at times even beyond the greats.
Ha! His Paris tomb is covered in lipstick.
I have often wondered: if it hadn’t been for the Marquess of Queensberry, what an even greater legacy might he have left? So sad even 127 years later.

THE FRIENDSHIP RING (Poetry) - 8/12/2026 11:50:11 AM
Never had a friendship ring, or even a wedding ring, even though I was married. But I appreciate the find this for the lost article, found again.
My brother lost a class ring in a lake in our college town in 1965, a few years ago, someone found it in the lake, and from his name on the ring, located him and he got that ring back after all those years.
Ron
Moth (Poetry) - 7/10/2026 2:48:43 PM
Yes, we are all seeking the light.
I learned recently that butterflies and moths are basically the same. I guess the primary distinction is that butterflies love the bright sun. While moths are more nocturnal but seek light, too. Perhaps, preferring the moon over the sun

Lady Chatterley's Lover (Poetry) - 11/8/2025 1:08:36 PM
Your poem appears to be a nice description of the thought, racy, novel in its time. And I don't mean a horse race.

Don Quixote (Poetry) - 10/30/2025 2:27:49 PM
You reminded me of my long ago reading the story from an illustrated book . The fool-hardy quest of Don Quixote. An allegory that I barely remember.
But most men lives like that, don't they? I know that I did. But a bit more like Forrest Gump. Another tale, a bit more recent but also full of life lessons.
Ron
Together in Ireland (Poetry) - 10/28/2025 11:03:51 AM
That's a great part of gold at the end of that rainbow… Guinness Stout, no doubt.
I believe those Irish pubs are one of the best places to go when it's cold, dark and dreary out. A place where you can buy a little bit listen to the Great fiddling and dance and sing along with the fellow patrons…
That is, until a donnybrook erupts over nothing.

The Reader (Poetry) - 9/2/2025 11:09:40 AM
I once knew a documented alien who was a reader because she proudly showed me her shelf of books. Unfortunately, after a week away to NYC, when I returned her phone no longer worked, she had left the apartment, and as far as I know, returned to that heavenly place she came from – Sweden.

GRANDMA SNOWDROP (Poetry) - 9/2/2025 9:37:01 AM
A composite all the grandmothers everywhere and their unique out work on life I remember from visiting them and their gentle hospitality.
You made me think of the appearance of Jayne Kennedy Good Morning America this morning. She was a typical white maned grandmother with a tale to tell. She said she waited until she found out how it turned out before writing her autobiography, Plain Jayne.
But she was never plain, as the first, and very vivacious and beautiful, black female announcer on the NFL Today program.
Ron
Bohemia (Poetry) - 8/18/2025 2:01:16 PM
Little Bohemia (a little bit of German nostalgia) is a resort in northern Wisconsin where, in the 1930s the FBI thought they had cornered all of the Midwestern gangs gathered therefore a confab. There was a lot of shooting and most of the gangsters got away, only to be caught another day. Tourists can now see the bullet holes from another era.
It still rests in the hearts of us of Germanic origin.

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE IN LIVERPOOL (Poetry) - 8/6/2025 2:09:36 PM
You fitted in some nice lyrics. Just yesterday, a news interviewer was talking to a British actress and they both agreed that Liverpool was the place to visit.
The Cavern must've had the right acoustics. When I saw The Pointer Sisters performing in underground Atlanta, I thought the acoustics would be bad. But they sounded fabulous.

Old Rockers (Poetry) - 7/30/2025 9:32:43 AM
I must be an old rocker myself. But every night when I listen to some singer or another, while I love the tenacity of some of these old geezers still touring, I want to listen to them at earlier venues where they had more energy and produced their greatest hits.
Yet I find that new performers can't seem to duplicate the clarity and the lyrics of the earlier old rockers. Perhaps it's because my hearing is nearly gone and it is only my mental memory of those hits that allows me to listen to them like they were originally done.
Ron
Caves (Poetry) - 7/30/2025 9:17:40 AM
Caves are rather inhospitable places for their dampness, darkness and overall lack of comfort, especially when bats are present.
Caves were probably used primarily for rituals and for escape from predators and other humans when attacked.
The caves you referred to of people burrowing into mountain sides, also provided safe living places where the weather could be ameliorated from harsh heat or cold. Basically not caves at all but, in ground or rock dwellings.
Ron
Spring Clean My Bookshelves (Poetry) - 7/21/2025 12:35:59 PM

What's in the Soil (Poetry) - 7/19/2025 11:23:57 AM
Earlier an our Earth's formation there was only molten rock and water. It was organisms in the water that broke down the molten rock into what we consider soil. Mostly made up of the rotting bodies of long dead plants and animals and filled with the organisms you describe, further breaking down and improving the soil for future use.
A cycle of life that is necessary for our very survival.

Ron, lovely forward to AD Maharani and poet JK Roseline, and thanks for your review. Best wishes from Scotland!
The Maharani of Mallakhamb (Poetry) - 7/8/2025 8:51:09 AM
I'm not sure of the reference here. But I once edited and wrote the forward to a book of poetry by the AD Maharani…
"In this second book of poetry, Nature Tales, by prolific poet JK Roseline, she has included 37 eclectic poems that are sure to delight anyone from 6 to 90 with their wisdom and charm. Roseline's extensive writing experience and advanced education in English literature has allowed her to delve into many styles of poetry with skill and grace. Every poem speaks very well for its format from story poems to haiku.
Within you will find poems about the seasons, the moon, and nature. Visions of castles, insects and flowers… Reading to enjoy for hours and hours. Poems about the sparrows and pigeons we all see outside our windows, and poems about relationships. Interspersed here and there are history lessons and views of Indian culture. But the poems are also about humanity and themes that are universal, regardless of culture. In short, there is something for everyone in Nature Tales."

Poetess (Poetry) - 6/6/2025 7:44:02 PM
You are so right.

All the whlle pretending to manhood
while fondling a set of butt cheeks.
Poetess (Poetry) - 6/3/2025 11:51:58 AM
You know far more poetesses [kind of rolls off the tongue] than I. But you made me recall the poem I heard only once from a black activist poetess in the 1960s that ended with the striking phrase…
"… soon, we be dead." Illustrating the briefness of causes and the need to be urgent if progress is to be made on something like civil rights.

Your range of subjects is phenomenal. I've always been fascinated by the Indian subcontinent and the people. Made some great lifelong friends I met in graduate schools and visited their homes in Pakistan and Bangladesh… unfortunately unable to get to India on my budget.

Empty Nester (Poetry) - 5/24/2025 12:08:36 PM
I'm not sure what the Russian influence is, but I'm sure you can explain it to me.
After raising two families, 16 years apart, my folks were more than glad to become empty-nesters when we flew the coop. Unfortunately, during the Summer of 1981, I took up residence with them in the musty vacant nest of my younger brothers because my warm nest in Atlanta had been rented for good money. They were glad to see me fly off south again in the fall.

The Book Train (Poetry) - 5/14/2025 12:19:27 PM
Books certainly have celebrated the train. From train history I learned that early UK trains had to be exactly flat. It was only the upstart Americans who figured out a way to make trains climb grades with amazing power. When I went over the Appalachians in Amtrak, they added a few more locomotives to give us a boost, but we still slowed down to nearly walking speed before we made it over the top of the pass and into a tunnel.
For a course I taught at Atlanta University on public policy in private enterprise 1978-80, one of the textbooks was a pessimistic outlook for World economy by Robert L. Heilbroner.
He described all of the world's population in a train headlong for a cliff with the poorest in the front who would go off the cliff first followed by the wealthy all the way to the richest in the caboose. Some would agree with him today. The single train was a good analogy, or we're all in the same boat. Some just don't seem to see it as they strive to get richer and richer.

World Cake Day (Poetry) - 5/6/2025 1:38:44 PM
Add hummingbird tongues for appetizers. No wonder they stunk of excess and had to dose their bodies with perfume because they felt bathing would kill them. My grandfather thought I would lose all my hair by showering every day.
When the local ladies learned that I like cake, three of them now make carrot cake for me and I have a great deal of time trying to eat it all without getting as fat as Marie Antoinette probably was.

Amazing Seashore (Poetry) - 4/30/2025 1:56:08 PM
The poem seems to have a good lesson. Where I worked for 30 years the seashore was 60 miles away and I rarely got there to walk it. But I did get out to a local State Park on Saturdays after doing my neglected week long chores so that I could enjoy the warmth of the late afternoon leading to sunset when the animals came out to parade in front of me and clear my mind.
Otherwise, driving to work with the radio turned up through freeway traffic for 20 miles was always relaxing for me. Got me ready for those morning meetings like a black cup of coffee.

Channeling Agatha (Poetry) - 4/8/2025 1:59:14 PM
A wonderful tribute to Ms. Christie. She was my mother's favorite author. I saw her often with a Christie book in her hands. Much enjoyed.

Agnetha in Plaid (Poetry) - 4/2/2025 2:11:32 PM
Having had two Swedish beauties in my ancient history making their way in the USA, I think I understand your understanding of the transplant from Scotland to Sweden or vice verse. I'm having trouble trying to figure out which.

Northern Lights (Poetry) - 4/1/2025 1:15:59 PM
Some interesting wishes. Not sure what is so cool about flying over Battersea Park Power Station?
I was fortunate not to have to go to Norway.
One below zero, crystal clear, night when I was 17, leaving the 4 lane bowling alley where I worked setting pins for the local Catholic Church. I was about halfway home, when above me, spreading from the zenith outward in every direction were Northern Lights in red, yellow, green and blue. A spectacular sight over North Central Wisconsin that is very rare and very few people will ever see when they think of Northern Lights as the usual undulating blueIsh-green curtains normally seen.

The Healing Trees (Poetry) - 3/26/2025 12:09:36 PM
They are magical and just being among them is healing. Beautiful poem, Kenny.
The Healing Trees (Poetry) - 3/23/2025 12:07:46 PM
Having shimmied up and down several of those trees mentioned, with their rough bark scraping my chest and thighs, I know firsthand that hugging a tree with its different bark structures, is a healing experience without the heat of another human being or faithful dog.
The rage of flowers and mushrooms at the floor of a deep Forest is a sight for sore winter eyes. Spinning spring fever and spring love for those who are lucky.
Ron
Cute little mushrooms. But know what you eat.
Four Dubliners (Poetry) - 3/22/2025 8:58:10 AM
The Irish have certainly contributed a great deal to literature. Although I didn't find Joyce's stream of consciousness worth reading. And sometimes, I wish that Bram Stoker had never invented the vampire legend and empire. Once in a while there is an interesting story, but most of them reek of imitation and lack of originality.
I admire your knowledge. Especially of The Green Isle.
Ron
Spring Blackbird (Poetry) - 3/20/2025 2:20:25 PM
Where I'm from it's the Robin that eats the disgusting earthworm with gusto. Cock its head to one side to hear the worm crawling underneath the ground, and then strikes. Usually getting a tasty worm.
I have harvested Woodcock who also eat earthworms. But eating their flesh is a challenge because they taste like what they eat.
Four and twenty blackbirds baked a pie… that's all I remember. Used to know the whole nursery rhyme. But I wouldn't eat that pie. Maybe pigeons.
Ron
A Rainy Day in Ireland (Poetry) - 3/16/2025 11:26:46 AM
Sorry to hear that you’re having morose weather in Ireland. But from the green nature of the land, it seems only natural for there to be rainy days in Ireland.
Here in the States, we have had three days of violent weather crossing the country. Killing so far, according to the count, 43, from dust storms, wind, tornadoes and wildflowers fueled by the wind and dry grass spring conditions.
Just in time to create ideal conditions for tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day. Where the Chicago River will turn green and the engineers will march down State Street in Madison, Wisconsin while the law students on the tops of the buildings will throw green water bombs on them. Many will drink green beer until they vomit green all in good fun.

Elephants (Poetry) - 3/10/2025 6:50:59 AM
Love your poem, Kenny. They are the most majestic creatures. They've always fascinated me.
Elephants (Poetry) - 2/23/2025 2:25:08 PM
Reminds me of the time when my Thai friend took me to his sister's house in rural development on our way to Pattaya.
I waited in the car wondering about the 12 feet high concrete fence posts behind the house with a savannah beyond that stretched for miles.
Out of nowhere, several elephants appeared. The one that came close to the fence had tusks that not only reached the ground, they curved back up about 4 feet off the ground. I have never seen, even in pictures, an elephant with larger tusks except on mammoths in museums.
Unfortunately, my camera is broken and I have no pictures of my 20 days in Thailand in January 1978.
Ron
Antonio the Mushroom Hunter (Poetry) - 2/15/2025 12:36:09 PM
Have them all the time now from my Italian/Vietnamese cook. But the ones I remember most were what grew under the trees when it rained between the curb and the sidewalk. My grandfather called them, buttons, and before he fried them in butter, he would always boil some with a silver spoon and if it tarnished, they were poisonous!
Ron
Diamond Galaxy (Poetry) - 2/14/2025 3:46:54 PM
A beautiful reminder that we know so little and the more we know the more we understand how little we know. A special poem of wisdom.
Diamond Galaxy (Poetry) - 2/14/2025 2:39:44 PM
Go ahead boy, skim for those diamonds in the rough.
One time a consultant who started businesses advised, "Through Atlanta runs a river of wealth. Find out how to dip into it and you will be wealthy."
Among the many planets found in our search for one somewhere to earth, a planet has been found that is pure carbon in the form of diamond. I wonder how one would mine that?

Kissing Fish (Poetry) - 2/3/2025 9:48:11 AM

Got some of those my mother sent me that I left behind and a few that I gathered along the way. Trying to figure out if any of them will be wanted after I'm gone.
Looks like you have your memorabilia in order.

Maple 64 (Poetry) - 1/24/2025 3:06:41 PM
So many parallels to the multiple times I crossed the border into the great country. Too many to mention here. I driven across both West Canada and central/ East Canada. It’s a big country with a lot to offer.
Now Trump wants to annex Canada and diminish it as a state. He not only has Americans like me at his throat, he would also have the British and the French!
I only say that I slept in the basement of a fraternity at McGill University during expose 67 for two dollars a night on a cot. That was liven.
I often refer to the Beatles tune when I serenade her at night…” Will you still love me when I’m 83!
Ron
PS Happy Birthday!
Camden Christmas Market (Poetry) - 1/14/2025 11:30:51 AM
For a song, eh? I'll bet they're worth more than that. But the elephant in the China shop doesn't care and wants to just get rid of them.
Coincidentally, I'm about to get rid of a lot of old stuff (close to antique, but not) on the much larger eBay market. Will see how it goes.

Down Under (Poetry) - 10/23/2024 11:48:57 AM
What a wonderful i've never been to Scotland or Down Under. But I know so much about those places like learning that the Royal Mile, just this morning, is in Edinburg.
Some time ago, I learned that the beloved heather was once virgin forest. But the Lords cut the trees all down to build manor houses, lodges (some still standing) and ships. Changing the landscape like Scottish and other European settlers in North America changed the landscape from virgin forest and prairie to farming.
I love listening to Men at Work and movies like Crocodile Dundee.

Antiques (Poetry) - 8/23/2023 5:13:34 PM
Chinese antiques are so beautiful!!! I have inherited my grandmother's bakelite big vase and a set of dishes for 12 people. I came from a large family. I know if I didn't preserve these two things that were so precious in my grandmother's days, no one else would care to preserve them. I placed the bakelite vase next to the altar where I had placed my parents' picture and my grandmother's picture there, so my grandmother would still own it.
I remember this big vase. On every Chinese New Year day a huge flower/plant, which seemed to have been cut down from a tree, was put into the vase for good luck, mainly targeted at my uncle, who seemed not able to find a wife. But my uncle didn't care. He was bad! Every time he went on a blind date he would sit there to read the newspapers, did not even care to talk to the girl. The girl would go home feeling all mad. Hahaha!!! He finally went to Brazil and found a German wife who was old enough to be his mother. My uncle was a funny guy!!!

I know what you mean. A good dentist can make you smile. Luckily, I've got all but one tooth left and I'm smiling every time I have to chew steak or something else that's a little tough.

You're lucky, as my teeth have mostly gone away, only 6 left on the bottom, none on top, but you tend to learn to use what you've got, as have I, just not alot...-e-
