Apologies

In these interesting "times" I am spending most of my time and energy working the sites that get me paying gigs and sales, sadly none of the ning rings I am in have done that when I was working them regularly and hard. Feel free to email me jb@ballardsbytes.com or message me on any of the sites below. My apologies for missed messages and comments.

Thanks for your understanding and support!

Harmony and Peace,

The Lost One (Poem)

Surprise, I can't sleep again, more than one young person of late has told me. "I'm lost." Sooooooooo thus this is born ....

Enjoy!?

The Lost One

You catch him

in the

corner of

your eye.

Bald,

pierced,

tattooed.

Apparently

juiced,

high,

or

a nut,

with a

screw

loose.

Someone

else's

problem.

A lost

one.

You don't

dare

care.… Continue

My Dream Eye (Poem)

I couldn't sleep last night soooooooooooooo I wrote *shrug*

Enjoy!?

My Dream Eye

is out of focus.

adjust,

blurs,

whirs,

nonsensical

kaleidoscopic

bursts.

History is Made (Poem)

Maybe it is just my cynical idealism, ... maybe it is folks the world over pining hopes on one human being with all the frailties and glory being human entails, ... maybe just maybe it is all the stories I am entrusted with the unsung heroes and heroines, that NEVER make the news, that have fallen in wide cracks of our justice and medical systems, ... maybe it is the reality of the good ole boys network, wars, poverty, injustice, ... maybe the stories I know and can do nothing but weep over .… Continue

Do You (Poem)

Do You

Know

the need

to make

music

that

swims

in

colors?

Can You

grasp

the yearning

to build

words

that

dance

in

pictures?

Can you

realize

the compulsion

to share

my visions

in ways

the soul

can

taste,

sensualize,

know?

Do you?
