Hammered Dulcimer

Have musicians always been heavy drinkers? Is this how the Hammered Dulcimer got its name?

100 Words

One hundred words I need to write. I don’t know…that’s more than I’ve written in such a long time. Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, makes it a challenge. Getting the words out one after another, that’s the hard part. Editing is easy, change a word here, rearrange a sentence there, no problem. But when writing from scratch, I lack direction. I need a compass, a road map, a kindly stranger to point the way. I think I’m going to give up. One hundred words is just too much to write. I’ll never be able to write it on my own…oh, wait…never mind.

Haiku: A Haiku

Syllables of five
But then another seven
I miss limericks

Renfield’s Lament: A Poem

I catch more flies with honey, 
I’ve done it all my life,
It makes the flies taste funny,
But it…he he he he he he he…No, Master, No!…I didn’t tell!………Thud.
