heavens above
HEAVENS ABOVE yet another work-in-progress as of 12 April 2025!… Rather unashamedly twee perhaps! But nonetheless… could this positively cloud your judgement or prompt you to think about just what is in store? š
some of all things
some think this, others that: it is the foundation of human individuality, but also of division… and yet no one truly knows who if anyone is right and who wrong… except in some obvious cases š
the power of words
there is much truth in this statement… many current sources that influence other people’s lives through their words seem to do so without care, without thought or else with deliberate malice/self-interest/manipulative-intent aforethought. I think it’s true that great care should be taken in the words we use when we are trying to communicate clearly and […]
the nihilist
something or nothing? post-christmas nihilism. a momentary inspiration that resulted in the following poem: the nihilist Iām making a nihilistIām checking me twice(Still trying to find outIf Iām ānaughty or niceā) If life is just futileAnd nothing has mattered –Wonāt it have been pointlessWhen all brains are scattered? If cities should crumbleAnd the planet implodeAnd […]
what did nostradamus see?
another short poem for the moment… ‘The Seer-Saw’ Is this what Nostradamus saw? In quatrains foretelling earthly Hell Of fires and strife, of flames and war Such scenes as these it seems could well Have been what filled the seerās mind And made him wont to write of doom Of burning lands and angry mobs, […]
where the angels now?
in Los Angeles, on this day, the fires are still burning: this brief effort is far too short to be an ‘ode’ — “A classic ode is structured in three major parts: the strophe, the antistrophe, and the epode.” This short poem is only structured in one part ‘the catastrophe’. LA-to-Zero The Alphabet streets are […]

in checking out the dusty, virtual shelves of my old pc this, another poem heretofore not published, that I initially wrote perhaps close to 40 years ago — so well before the current age of ‘small screens’ and handheld devices that have, in some ways, displaced the traditional tool of mass-influence the ‘tv’! yet television […]
imagining God
a brief response prompted by the query (above) spotted on social media: If such a Thing that some call God ‘exists’ it is ineffable. (i.e. “too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.” — as defined by Oxford Languages on Google) Some suggest that God is all-powerful (omnipotent), and knows-all (omniscient), but […]
a response: a different view of an indifferent god
The following is a response to another article (* see link below) that I was prompted to read by its author through a social media group. It might also be useful, alongside this response to view an earlier post on this blog which elucidates my suggested perspective: “what is god or what if god is“ […]
inner space
Many people spend a lot of time wondering about what may be going on in āouter spaceāā¦ The Terra-forming of Marsā¦ The progress of Interstellar probes and telescopesā¦ And whether there are aliens āout thereā, and if so where are they? And so onā¦ We donāt spend so much time thinking about āinner spaceāā¦ But, […]
