Narrowing Down the Contents
The contents of the upcoming poetry book: Effloresce are being worked on at this moment!
With a newly revised cover, Effloresce is shaping up to be more than a book themed on nature, but a powerhouse of imagery, philosophy, and observation with some politics thrown in. The environment is not about carbon dioxide, it's about how we respect the natural flow of the Earth's processes.
Until we can get our act together to detoxify our planet, we will have to educate others on the real injustices we face... not the made up ones for the sake of funding and political points.
Effloresce has a wonderful mix of poetry styles and has three sections.
Visit the book's page, Effloresce, to see if your favorite poems will make the cut.

The Rain Update
Updated cover art and a page all by itself. The Rain should have a great time attracting poetry fans.
The Rain: Monsoon in the Desert is a long tale in lyric form about the monsoon, storms, desert creatures, and a lone human looking out for Mother Earth's little lives.
This poem is epic.

Rain Showers and October Flowers
A scary, electric thunderstorm rolled through my neighborhood this evening.
The storm appeared to build on top of our area as an orange sun set in the distance. The cloud to cloud lightning illuminated the sky in muted tones of blue and white. The trees and bushes swayed under the wind bursts and blows. The rain splattered and spit until the gush of a downpour soaked everything in its path.
The last surge of the monsoon was the best one of the season. Finally the parched earth saw some measure of moist relief. The dirty air from previous dust storms was cleaned as the smell of humidity doused the otherwise hot and dry molecules. A faint odor of ozone hung between the hydrogen and oxygen covalent bonds. The air was indeed electric to the smell as well as touch.
Now the season is over.
Will this rainy evening bring with it flowers in October? Or just the memory of the last vestiges of summer spilling over into an autumn night? Sunflowers have hidden away to sleep until the sun rises in half a day's hours.
The night is calm once again. The stars beam their lights. The nestled birds are quiet upon the wind.
Have a great and wonderful day.

Hot in the City Tonight
The last Friday in July is a cooker.
Pressure cooker? The heat feels like it. In the pull of Mother Nature to bring in the Monsoon to the Sonoran Desert, she has been really cooking our biscuits. Fry me, isle five.
I mean, I am a desert rat, but from mid-June on the heat has been ridiculous. Then add the geoengineering on top of our already drought ridden region and bam! instant wildfire season. Just insane.
So I am inside during the day and star gazing in the middle of the night.
It's hot in the city on a Friday night. Nothing to watch on the television so I will again be without entertainment for the entire weekend. I will have to entertain myself.
That means: more poetry and fiction novels on the way! First I will be sure to write up some nonfiction booklets and research essays. Got to keep the variety up.
If I get bored, then I know my audience is too. We cannot have that! So I am dialing up the fearless imagination to the next level.
Then I am going to take a nap... speaking of which. Off I go until this evening!
Have a great and wonderful day!

Full Moons and Rain Showers
The Sonoran Desert has come alive with thunder and lightning. The monsoon has returned. Rain drops here and there. Gusty winds flatten the landscape with dust and dirt. The arid landscape rages once again.
The full moon rises without mark of time. Clouds inundate the sky and make visualizing that much more difficult. All is hidden under a blanket of grey. Planets, stars, and the full moon fight to be seen between storm clusters.
The rain has come to the city. Sparse. Needed. The moisture comes as it pleases. Mother Nature has cried out her tears over the lower deserts and cannot make it passed the rugged terrain of mountains.
The lightning and thunder recede. No shows tonight. The city is safe again.
Safe from the wind, bright lights, clapping sound, and precipitation. Where is my rain? What spell was cast to deprive me of what is mine? Release your hold and let life bloom.
The monsoon is here. Although, I cannot touch or feel the intensity of the heat and humidity merge, I can watch from afar. The ranis will come. I am certain.
All we have to do it pray.
Have a great and wonderful day!

Phantom Rain
Rain was on the radar but none fell on my property.
Rain will begin in 14 minutes to a break in the rain will happen in 44 minutes. I look outside: nothing. I hear the monsoon storm's wind and thunder. I look again... Well, I guess there is no rain for my poor landscaping yet another day.
Where is my rain? My plants cry for moisture.
Do I keep on waiting on this phantom rain?
Have a great and wonderful day.

Harmonious Crickets and Desert Heat
My house is full of cricket song.
I have been hoping for the kitties to eat them all, but I guess the babies are full of other things instead. In the early morning hours, if I am able to see Orion, I can hear the locusts too. The desert is alive and well.
Even though it is hot and muggy with a chance of geoengineering, I still love my home. Still I cannot wait for the autumn storm track to swoop down and cool the desert off.
Have a great and wonderful day.

Herding Cats
That is what my week has felt like.
I know you cannot herd cats. I have some. Herding is not an option.
Humans however... I had to write a person's lawyer about their negative albeit criminal behaviors. Why can't some people act like adults? You're guess is as good as mine. Then there's going to the store. When you are ill and disabled, a store a mile away seems like a continent away. I feel that I need to find an online solution to grocery shopping.
Of course the Disneyland measles outbreak. Everyone is panicking. You and your unvaccinated kids are going to make us sick? That's logic. I swear people do not listen to themselves speak or write. If you are vaccinated, what's the worry? Or do people leaving the sham that is vaccinations actually know something you are too afraid to admit to yourself?
Research Linus Pauling Institute, research done on megadoses of IV Vitamin C. The cure for measles and West Nile Virus already exists, but that would take too much money away from large corporations.
Well, we are supposed to receive some type of rain here in the desert. The amounts keeps changing, lower and lower, as the planes are seen spreading something above the clouds. Great another toxin to detox. Like I don't have enough illness to go around.
Okay, I am exhausted again.
Time for some rest. Nothing on television tonight so I might fall to sleep with Youtube on.
How about you?
Have a great and wonderful night!

Rainy Days for Lazy Cats
I confess: I am a lazy cat.
In human form, but in the spirit of a rainy, cloudy evening, I turned into a lazy cat. And, why not? It was a great day to be lazy.
I like to watch a cat sleep. Cats are such peaceful sleepers in peaceful homes. They stretch. They blink. They go back to sleep.
Ah to be a cat and today I got to stretch and blink and go back to sleep.
Try it sometime. It is a wonderful experience.
Have a great week!

Stormy Nights and Restless Mornings
How I love the sound of thunder and rain.
Mostly rain. We need a few good deluges where I live. The desert seeks to rekindle life during its yearly monsoon season.
I have lived in the midwest and west coast. I have visited the east coast. Nothing is more energetic and mysterious as the desert monsoon season.
You never know what you are going to get.
Writing is like that. Some days, a writer can write up a storm. Other days: a drought manifests. In the end, writing a good story is what counts.
Ah, the thunder comes again.
I wonder what Mother Nature writes with each passing rain shower.
Have a great and wonderful day!
