I found this attempt to write a Tritina which I wrote in 2005.



The dark, dreary days of winter approach

Not even the wonder of snow can inspire

The spirits of the season seem always adrift 


The winter winds sends papers adrift

Tossing and turning and difficult to approach 

The bright twinkling lights attempt to inspire


My soul reaches for the heights to inspire 

My spirit.  The season it leaves me adrift 

As the ever dark days do approach.


What need I approach, to keep me inspired, and not leave my soul adrift.

November 25, 2022 Friday after Thanksgiving.  I did not hear from any of my sisters and for once I did not contact them to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving.  I am tired of being the one to initiate contact between us and I am giving up on trying to sta y connected.  If they want to connect with me, they know how to contact me.  It is sad we are not connected to one another, but I am sure the most intimate reason is politics!  What a sad reason to talking to one another.  I am the odd man out with my politics, and I vehemently disagree with theirs.  I can't agree to follow a man who doesn't know the difference between the truth from a lie, one who thinks he is a king or a God to be followed no matter what.  A man who has been very divisive in his policies and done his best to divide the country by ethnicity and political party.  he constantly pitted one party against the other and blamed the people on the other side for everything.  He courted acceptance from the enemies of our co

The Unloved Women

The Unloved Woman I stood there at the foot of her bed looking at her and wondering what in her life had made her the bitter old woman that she was.  I am sure it is not where she wanted to be, I know that she wanted to be loved by someone.  Not even her children cared enough to come sit by her side as she laying dying.  I was here and it was not out of a since of duty or love.  Just a concern that no one, no matter how ugly they had been during their life needed to spend their final moments alone. She had made my life a living hell the last few years as she tried her utmost to separate my family one by one.  She had already destroyed her own family as could be seen because they all refused to come be with her in her final hours.  Again, it was left up to me and I can’t say that I was very happy to be in this position.  But how sad it was to see here alone with not a soul in her family who cared enough to come sit with her during her final hours.  I keep asking myself why I wa

How deep can this hole get?

The quagmire just keeps getting deeper and deeper.  Am wondering just how deep it can go.  The CEO is laying out her demands and getting uglier day by day.  She can't stand it that we are there for dad and her family won't come around.  She is trying to blame it all on us saying they don't feel welcome.  It isn't us!  Sherry had always gone out of her way to entertain the CEO's family when they come around.  Even though she would rather not!  We are being pushed away but by bit as the CEO wants total control over dad.  I really think we are going to push back.  Dad told Sherry that they don't need anyone to come stay with them when she goes home.  Except that is really the CEO's edict.  She thinks she can take care of dad by herself.  She can't see, she can't drive and she doesn't like to cook much.  She creates a horrible mess when she does cook and she can't see well enough to know that.  Her latest remark is that she passed out during the
