My Last Car Accident (Article) - 6/22/2007 8:52:50 AM
In answer to your question about this story, it's popular because I could feel the accident. My palms prespired as I'm sure yours did on the streering wheel. This story was so vivid and real, it was a little scary.
Happy to know you made it through OK.

Glad you got through your experience. Frightening episode. May it be your last.
I wore a seat belt when I was in Pakistan as the Camp manager in Mundihar earlier this year. I did but no one else seemed to. Seatbelts must be made as compulsory as steering wheels. That way will save more lives.
Best wishes

Sounds good. You can also add a can of kidney beans to it, and some salsa or chili powder for a different take.

Kinda like how the one poem I wrote called "He Never Hits Me" has a lot more hits than the other 24. The human species loves a train wreck. Glad to read you're okay, sounds very scary. Good write.

Go ahead and rant...it is part of our freedom. I keep telling people, 'express you opinions! Everyone should say how they feel... I think many of us feel a 'revolution' coming on, for it's getting harder for most working families to provide those 'three squares a day'.

Sting Ray (Poetry) - 7/14/2009 9:21:58 AM
Awesome write, Michael. Stingrays are incredible creatures. While in Punta Cana in April this year, we had an opportunity to swim with stingrays and actually interact with them. Of course their quills were removed, and it was in a controlled environment; but nevertheless an amazing experience.

A wondeful thought. How wonderful it would be to relive our lives our way, without interferance from others and rewrite the past and change the present...........we cannot.
For Ruth (Poetry) - 4/10/2009 6:43:11 AM
I wish everyone could acknowledge a past love with such grace.

The Girl Between (Poetry) - 7/30/2008 8:02:41 AM
I think "The Girl Between" puts some very difficult thoughts and feelings into a very clear form. I've read many love poems, but this subject area is fresh and gives expression to what many people experience but do not have the gift to put into words. Thankyou, Michael, for dedicating your time, energy and talent for this.

The Garden (Poetry) - 6/9/2008 1:48:27 PM
Not in a garden, but a groundhog lives in the cemetery and I see it whenever I go there. Lots of groundhogs get killed on the highway, but would you believe it I ran over a skunk Thurs. night on way home from granddaughter's grad. That is sorrowful to me and the smell stayed on my tires for days. Two creatures of nature I don't like but have to deal with in life.
For Uncle Gary (Poetry) - 1/13/2008 3:16:37 AM

Sting Ray (Poetry) - 9/5/2006 6:11:23 AM
Been down there with the likes of these, on tanks, never wanted to get close to one at all. Read about a woman who swam over the top of one back in the 70's, took a barb through the heart, instant death for her! Two days ago Stevo took the same fate, and though they are one of God's majestic creations, right now I hate them!!
Beautifully written.

These creatures are true poetry in motion. Thanks for sharing this with those of us who don't dive and will probably never see such a wonder in their natural environment.

They are indeed wonderful angelic creatures. Nice tribute to the beautiful Sting-Ray,

Michael,
Keep talking, my friend, and keep posting these beautiful, amazing words, and illustrating them with the mysteries of the deep, you are going to talk this old claustrophobic into maybe changing her mind and taking a scuba lesson...LOL
Hey. Proposition. Next time you go to the Carribean, can twin sis Karen and I sneak along? If only to watch your gear? :) DON'T I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is GORGEOUS, both write and pic--just please, watch out for the sharks!!!!!!! LOL
