Inspiration: At any moment, thoughts begin to circle in my mind. Sometimes there is a theme. If I capture them quickly they leave me alone. If I ignore them for too long they stalk me. The good thing is, on those days, the poems don’t have to be long. Below is an example of 6 very short poems that seem to form a theme — a moment in time.
A friend of mine joked recently, Can’t you have an insignificant moment?
I thought about it for about a second and said, No. We can have light moments, happy moments, carefree moments, but as long as we have breath we can’t have an insignificant moment.
He laughed at me and said, You are such a Hart!
I said nothing, but thought, Yes, I have the Hart-of-a-Poet.
I hope you enjoy these 6 Shorts.

Inspiration: I was working with a group of executives preparing for what would happen after their president retired. The normal emotions of fear, anxiety, and frustration mixed with the how’s this going to affect me strategies for moving forward.

I have been away from recording for a while, and was lovingly chastised by a blog visitor who I ran into at my video store. He recognized me and said, “You have some very good poems on your blog, but you don’t update it often do you?”
I took the hint and told him to expect new poems more frequently. I am proud that this is the post that marks my new beginning.
When the universe pulls a reality through us
That is bigger than the boundaries of our beliefs
We have Soul Quake

Inspiration: I was sitting around one day and this thought came to mind:
Memories that need a voice
Are of the most patient kind
They rest in the corners of the heart
And worm their way into the mind…
