Just A Poet

Posted on January 27, 2017 by hernibs

I am just a poet not a spinner of yarns, my characters hold love and hope in their arms. Concise and spartan my words on the page, not padded with phrases that try to sound sage. Between words and pictures … Continue reading →

Dancing With Memories

Posted on January 19, 2017 by hernibs

I Need An Enema For My Mind

Posted on November 17, 2016 by hernibs

I need to purge all the words that constipate my brain, get all backed-up thoughts loose and flowing again, mental fibre to move the great thought that somehow I just forgot, a pill that will raise instead of lower the … Continue reading →

No High Tech For Me

Posted on October 20, 2016 by hernibs

Writing My Own Sermon In My Head

Posted on July 10, 2016 by hernibs

Live Intensely

Posted on June 27, 2016 by hernibs

To live intensely is to live as if at a play, quick to catch the beauty of the setting, the meaning of the dialog, the nuances of character, the strange mingling of humour and tragedy that makes up life. ~ … Continue reading →

Writing In The Tub

Posted on December 7, 2015 by hernibs

I’ve never done this before. I’ve read in the tub, sang in the tub, eaten in the tub, slept in the tub but never written in the tub. I see why, it is a little tricky, especially if your hands … Continue reading →

Literary Or Literal

Posted on November 2, 2015 by hernibs
