Well here I go...

Well here it is...a blog...not sure if it'll fly but its worth a try right. First off the title is compliments of my wife, Melinda. I write poetry, which takes a certain amount of time to myself. As a husband and a parent of five kids ages five and under, there isnt exactly loads of personal time, so I am quickly becoming a king of multitasking, which includes time in the bathroom. It is not uncommon to see me taking my notebook and pen into the bathroom with me to write.

Now the purpose of this space. Mostly I will post poems here, someplace for people to read them and let me know what they think. I am quite serious about writing somehow, and love doing it so I want people to read them. I will also use this space to vent, rant, post random pictures of random things....I like to ramble on about things I find neat, interesting or cool so I'll likely post that stuff here too.

so lets get this party started:



A cold room that needs to be Warm


It's a small room

won't take much to warm

to a comfortable place


you don't need to spend long

in there

but multiple visits

throughout time


but the bone chilling cold

prickles your skin as you walk through the door

its icy touch lingering

uncomfortably


this is a room that should be

warm because the only thing

colder then the air

is the the throne

of porcelain

that you must reluctantly sit upon.
