Although I do write non-fiction and articles I also write fictional short stories, poetry, monologues, and other creative writings. In this category, I will be sharing all of my different creative self writings.

“The Thrill Of Holding You New Book” is a short poem I wrote when I published Garden Of Poems.
Excitement brews and bubbles.
Oh what a thrill
to hold your struggles in your hand
to embrace your heart printed on the page.
A book cannot smile
so I double my grin.
My normal smile for my joy
then double for him.
My new born boook
I get to hold and embrace.
Oh what a thrill.
My “Plastic Rose” painting was so much fun to paint. It is different from most of my other paintings because it is not just acrylic. Yes, the muted pink border is acrylic paint. However, I also used mod-podge and watercolors.
The background is watercolors with mod-podge in between the layers. I wanted to see how layers of watercolor would look. Would it give the painting more depth? Could I make it look different from my other backgrounds?
The Rose is then done in acrylic paint on top of the watercolors. I then sealed it with a final layer of mod-podge. This gave it a plastic texture, which is why the name is “Plastic Rose.”
This painting showed me that I enjoy experimenting and something beautiful can come from exploration.
Listen to the patter of the rain.
It feeds the thirday earth,
changing the dried tan field
to a plush green meadow;
a blanket of love.
Turned on a faucet above
caused life to bloom
so shortly after its gloom.
It washes away the past
giving hope to thefuture.
All is right with the world
so listen to the patter of the rain.

This painting has a blue pour painting as its background and pink hearts flying up it. I do love painting hearts and things that remind you to love. Love is an important part of life and being human. This painting is all about letting your heart fly to where it’s supposed to be.
My Mighty Morning Prayer is a prayer in poem form that I pray in the morning when I don’t really know what to say.
Lord God Almighty
You are king of kings
and Lord of lords.
You've blessed my life abundantly.
I know You love me.
Lord God, You are with me daily.
Please open my eyes to see Your works.
Open my ears to hear Your voice
and my heart and mind
to know Your discernment and wisdom.
You are mighty to give and wonderful to answer prayers.
Thank You for all you do
and thank you for who You are.
Amen.
My creativity creeps out of my door and must pass through the dark and deep parts of my mind before it can be release. It is then expressed in a more cheerful and optimistic way, since my joy surrounds my mind.
In late January 2021, I published my poetry book Garden of Poems. It is filled with poetry from 2013-2020. Pen Poem is one of the excerpts from the book.
Pierce me with your
ink filled sword,
force your words to linger
as they twist inside,
because murder is never sweet,
unless it's in the mind
causing a new reality to live.
So murder my mind
with words of wonder.
Let the sharp bladed images
of your prose or verse
slice out the mundane,
so that I may live among your ink
until the new understandings take hold
and I am reborn with new light
into a new life.

Do you see?
Can you feel the beginning of spring?
The air is warming.
The earth under our feet
is waiting patiently for the rain.
The trees and bushes
are excited for the flowers.
They know groth is coming their way.
Oh, what relief and joy will come
from the beautiful warm rain.
They sky will open for the ground
the earth will welcome it in.
A new life will start.
Tick tock goes the clock
as the waves rolls in
time may fly
or time may stop
the waves crashes on the shore either way.
Tick tock goes the clock
as the sun shines on
time may fly
or time may stop
the sun will heat the sand either way.
Tick tock goes the clock
it's far far away
time may fly
or time may stop
we won't pay attention either way.
