Vistas

Posted on July 25, 2018 by hernibs

Look past ferns and saplings, between cedar and maple where light illumines something further away than eyes can see. Vistas in woods and life, distant points yet to explore. Go there, moving always towards unseen prospects and points of view. … Continue reading →

Daughters As Neighbours

Posted on July 9, 2018 by hernibs

Takes time to reshape from mother to neighbour, from daughter to neighbour. Each aware of the need for fences and gates that define a healthy, happy neighbourhood. ©Sharron R. McMillan

Literary Writers

Posted on June 19, 2018 by hernibs

Literary Writers write other people’s words, use successful people’s names, recall famous people’s opinions. In other words, to be considered a writer one must parrot well what has already been written to somehow prove one is well read, clever and … Continue reading →

Heart Sounds of Life

Posted on April 24, 2018 by hernibs

Hard to describe the sound of a happy fire on a chilly morning – like the sound of my heart when I have my head underwater, or wind through a cracked open window, air sucking in, flames bouncing, wood crackling … Continue reading →

Poet In The Tub

Posted on April 23, 2018 by hernibs

It’s not that easy writing in the tub book edges are wet, blue lines smudge but fluid inspiration is best written when it flows. Submerged in tepid water thoughts unclog and ideas gel, but by the time I’m toweled off … Continue reading →

The Play

Posted on April 22, 2018 by hernibs

The play ended on an unhappy note not how we wrote, nor as we’d hoped. But as the curtain dropped to the floor I heard the closing of a door and knew this drama had just begun, off stage right, … Continue reading →

Evolvement

Posted on March 1, 2018 by hernibs

We must evolve, we have to evolve or we will end up killing each other off as generations before us have done. We need to learn from our fathers, not emulate them. We must be who they were not in … Continue reading →

Cover Me

Posted on February 26, 2018 by hernibs

Cold, white snow cover me, in a blanket of purity with flakes of truth that are unique. Cover me so that I may rest untroubled beneath your softness, dormant, safe, undisturbed. I know spring will come and I will burst … Continue reading →

Drifting Snow

Posted on February 25, 2018 by hernibs

So soft and white and yet so cold, so quiet, light and yet so bold you influence the great and small, yet think of others not at all. If routine stops because of you no apology is due. You can … Continue reading →

Beautiful Art

Posted on January 12, 2018 by hernibs

Untold Truth

Posted on January 10, 2018 by hernibs

Like bad novels some people’s stories are half truth but mostly fiction, names changed to protect the guilty. Secrets hidden behind lies, deceit and pretense. Wasted stories with no ending at all, just more lies to bury the past deeper … Continue reading →
