The Writer’s Workshop

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Money is as money does, and I’m fortunate enough to have enough that it does keep me sheltered, fed, and clothed. Other than that of course it would be nice to have more than enough to help people in need, and help my family when they need. I think having too much money as we can see by many examples on the news, does no one any good.

Friday Fictioneers

Sara loved antique stores, always looked for a bargain with a secreted value. Being pragmatic, knowing she would sell it for more, it was “just business”. Entering the glassware section, a grouping drew her to them. She bought them, set them up, clean and polished. After placing them on a table, they started glowing, emitting a weird green essence and incredibly, eerie music was coming from them! Sara tried to take them off to put away, but they stuck on the table. Frightened but acting quickly, Sara set a sign in front of them, “Halloween Special” free to good home.

dVerse Poets Poetics

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized



The poem I would like you write is about the end of something: the end of a season, a relationship, a story, a letter, a journey, a dream, a life, the world, etc. You can write in any form, rhyming or not; just make sure it ends in one of the ways described below – and let us know which you chose and why.

I chose number 5 by T.S. Eliot because I think it fits well with the USA Today:

Everyone yells their opinions

Speaking from a known dominion

Whether a podium draped in a flag

Or a cardboard box on the main drag

Our voices disappear in the throng

Some telling others they are wrong

I’m guilty of this, I speak out

I try to explain what I’m about

But no one cares

And no one dares

To object to my face

It all seems a race

To end all the old freedom bells’ that rang

“And the world ends in a whimper rather than a bang.”

Tuesday Poetics: Endings

Truthful Tuesday 9-17-24

Did your family move around a lot when you were younger, or did you pretty much live in one place for most of your life? What about now? Do you move around frequently or have you lived in the same place for quite a while?

I moved at 3 to a dairy farm and then at 15 to a small apartment in town, then a boarding house, apartment, house and more houses and then two apartments. I lived in Vermont, New Hampshire, Texas, Colorado, Texas, Texas, Colorado, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming.☺️
