Shady Finds Spring Flea Market at Brokedown Palace

Sunday was a great day at a fun event to meet and great many folks. Friends, old and new, stopped by to chat and check out my poetry and short story books, as well as any subject that happened to come up!
 

 

My Poetry

Poetry should be remarkably relevant, a reflection of our community, our friends, our beliefs, our society and our souls. I believe you will find these poems speak to that ideal.

 

A Pocketful of Poems

Back cover showing old whiskey jug with caricature of author, pure prairie poetry aged in the author's head. Coffee, cats and poets, plus love in all its messy glory. Distilled and bottled from the platte river waters by the writing dog llc
 

These poems range so far and wide that readers of all ages will find something to chuckle at, wonder about, or just plain shake their heads at.

Tixteco Mexican Restaurant

Look at these two crazy kids, Eusebia and Constantino, who fell in love a long time ago and made a life together. They are such good people, so of course they make good food. They fill my bowl with rice and beans and I, The Writing Dog, eat there. Best chili relleños tacos in Omaha!

Check out TixtecoMexicanRestaurant, then go to 16th and Dorcas and get you a chili relleños. Tell them The Dog sent you, Arf, Arf!

Beercade 2

The Writing Dog with Ash!

Here I am at Beercade 2 on 13th Street in Omaha. Ash is a great friend and buys me a beer when I write a good poem. That's what I call making poetry pay! He's actually in two poems: on pages 8 and 9 in Poems for Pickin'! When in Omaha pop in for a cold one when you get thirsty and play a video game or pinball. They have a great crew!
