Flash 55 - Fingering

“giving the finger, the highway salute, reading between the lines, digitus impudicus, flying the bird, flipping someone off, poking in the evil eye, the middle finger”

The Roman Empire’s contribution and legacy is a never-ending influence to our culture of fingering our unvocalized emotions.

Be sure to show your support for tradition and history, today.




This gesture came to life as a way of warding off the evil eye and was spread throughout the Roman Empire by its many Legions.

One Shot Wednesday - A Life Well Lived

Pops in a dress.

My father turned 80 on April 6th. Here is a poem I wrote for him:

When a man looks to judge the successes of his life,
He looks to the things he has gathered about him;
He looks to the things he calls his own;
He looks to the things he has created.
He looks around and he sees,
He has planted the seeds
Of his posterity,
Of his legacy,
Of himself:
His children,
His grand-children,
His great-grand-children.
And in their lives,
He has built generations where
He sees his eyes and dimples in some
He sees his mannerisms, hears his laugh in others
He sees himself stretching grandly on into the future
He sees his life is good; he sees he has done good work.
When a man looks to take his measure,
He sees he is loved.

Dedicated to my father, a man whose family is everything to him, on his 80th birthday.


The tough guy on the left.

One Single Impression - Place


is where i am
going beyond this
place and time
again moving
into the past
while the future
flops around
like a fish gill
gulping for air
grasping
for a foothold
into being


Write a poem on this week’s theme.

Flash 55 - egg-stremely egg-citing



The shell cracked in two places as the pressure increased from the inside out. I couldn’t tell what might emerge although I expected a chicken. I may have mentioned once or twice before that things rarely worked the way I intend. I think I need to give up planning and go back to winging it.
