I write the little stories most people walk right past.

A pair of blue jays sharing a meal. A cat convinced the box belongs to him. A dog who somehow understands more than words. A trip to the grocery store that becomes an adventure. If an animal, a stranger, or an ordinary day makes me stop and wonder, “What were they thinking?”… chances are a poem isn’t far behind.

Most of my work is written in rhyme, usually with humor, sometimes with a lump in the throat, and always with a love for the small moments that quietly make up a life.

Welcome to my little corner of Lemmy.

I hope a few of these stories make you smile, make you laugh, or simply make your day a little brighter.
