Just finished adapting my screenplay for "Chupacabra" into a short novella that I am thinking of re-titling "Night of the Chupacabras."

I had such fun writing "Night of the Chupacabra' that I am going to make it a series. First up, "Rise of the Chupacabras." Stay tuned for more!

Haven't really written too much poetry in the past few years. Been concentrating on improving my prose. But I do have at least a hundred or so new poems and someday I will put them out.

working on getting books out on kindle within the next few weeks/months. revised and revisited versions of all three of my poetry books and maybe a new book of poems too.

repugnant

my true heart
is filled with
sympathy
empathy
love and compassion
and it is only when
i supress these qualities
in an attempt to appear
tough and masculine
that i become
truly repugnant

To me writing prose is much more difficult and therefore much more rewarding than writing poetry. Writing a poem is like blowing my nose. Writing a novel is like giving birth. Big difference in the time it takes to deliver the little booger.

left with the dog

i can think
of no better honor

than to be entrusted
with the safety
of Maynard

the deaf dog

half Australian shepherd
half basset hound

no better companion to be found

Sin city

Las Vegas
made me sad
to see the people streaming past
the homeless veteran in his wheelchair
ignoring him like he wasn’t there
intent on tossing their money
into the void of the casinos
i gave him five dollars
he looked like a young Tab Hunter
and his voice was very soft and gentle
when he said, “Thank you sir.�
i tried to imagine what his life must be like
and i wondered where he would sleep at night
it made me want to cry
it made me want to grab
those thoughtless people passing by
and shake them and tell them
that what they are doing is a sin
and even though
i am now far from Las Vegas
that delicate handsome face
and calm tender voice
saying, "Thank you sir."
will haunt me
for a long time to come
probably forever
