These poems are from a chapter titled "Of Blood On Grey" about the Civil War and the aftermath in the South. I'll probably post some more in April since that's when the war ended. If you've never read about Lee's surrender I would urge you to, it's one of the great military stories of all time. In brief,...

2009

In honor of Veterans Day, I decided to post this poem as a stand-alone here. I'm one of those old-fashioned Americans who is patriotic and still gets a lump in his throat watching war footage. My dad was in the Navy and the Air Force and left very reluctantly to put down roots. I spent a lot of time...

Truper Aluminum #12 Scoop Shovel

When the leaves start falling, this is my best friend.

Problem: Leaves everywhere. Sometimes 15 bags at a time. Bending over to load each bag is a back breaking chore. I did this for many years and finally decided there had to be an easier way.

Solution: One trip to the hardware store later, my troubles were over. The Truper #12 scoop shovel has revolutionized the way I bag leaves. What used to take an hour or more now takes 10 minutes. No more bending, grabbing or stuffing. Just stretch a trash bag inside a round garbage can and the shovel will fill it in a few easy scoops. Rinse and repeat and the job is soon done.

In rural areas leaves are frequently...

"A Life Within Eyes." is a wonderful poem, everyone should read it and feel the emotion it evokes.

In response to rustaddsflavor's comment from Nov 11, 2009:

I know exactly what you mean about "the parts are nothing without the whole" thing. It's nice that you didn't want to devulge everything at once, what would be the point?
The best part is that you aren't keeping your writings hidden away, I'm sure it feels good to share them, at least I think it would if it were me lol. No doubt you'll be and likely already are a great influence on your nice and nephew, especially if they love reading and writing too; that's very cool.

Keep those thoughts coming, I enjoy the freshness of your writings, I find them very unique.

Thanks for sharing them :)

Have a great day !
