and Purposeful Prose
It's a peaceful word Yet I struggle to rest As I lean on my understanding And what I believe is best It's a reassuring word No, we don't have to fret Yet I find myself weary From this match that I've met Why do I wrestle? Why do I fight? Why don't I surrender? And [...]

There once was a banana named Ben He loved the water, but it wasn't his friend He came up so fast that he got the bends And the waves kept crashing again and again He was safer at home with the apple and pear He had plenty of friends who were quite the fine fare [...]
Being creative and chipper through the Winter months is going to be more difficult than I realized. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No. Why am I so determined to keep an even keel? Does anyone else maintain one? Nope. So what's my motivation? I know what it is. It's what it always is: love. The problem, however, [...]
