February 20 – Conversations
Plucking at the topic
Yet mistimed with
Bum notes and fret buzz
The tuning slightly out creating
Dyssynchronous harmonics.
A pause before plucking
At the topic, adjusting the tuning pegs
So it resonates, oscillates
And runs the arpeggios
In synchronous harmony.

I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

My collaborative epistolary novel, "Post Marked: Piper's Reach," written with Jodi Cleghorn (@JodiCleghorn) out now via Vine Leaves Press.
Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.
