Quick site update – new poetry section
Hey, gang! Since I first began seeking publication about three years ago, I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of my poetry published. My poetry section here at the site was getting quite long, so I began a second section for my newly published work — “My poetry, from 2016.”
Both sections can be found at the menu to the left here at my blog.
Thanks!

These people aren’t Americans. They can’t be.
The Wonder Bread – Hostess Bakery in Jamaica, Queens (Photos)
My family tells me that all of us kids got sweets whenever we went there in the 1970’s to buy bread. Being about four years old at the time, I can’t really remember that.
I definitely do remember loving Twinkies when I was a baby. Strangely, I also remember seeing the Wonder Bread logo on the backs of trucks when we were driving.
That factory had a long run. It closed only in 2011, believe it or not, after being in business for 130 years. 130 years … wow.

“Mother’s Love” (author unknown)
“Mother’s Love” (author unknown)
Her love is like
an island in life’s ocean,
vast and wide.
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, the rain, the tide.
‘Tis bound on the north by Hope,
By Patience on the West,
By tender Counsel on the South
And on the East by Rest.
Above it like a beacon light
Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;
And thro’ the changing scenes of life
I find a haven there.
