Is it the “Long-Hall”, or a one-night “wine & dine”? When we use this word…L.O.V.E….what, exactly, does it really mean? Are we emotionally invested in someone, or is it… Continue reading

My “Dear-John” letter to John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
Author’s note: John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been dead a long time. And, ironically, people are still clinging to the classic lone-gunman story, of how one many shot JFK, from at least 3-directions, causing 3 completely different bullet wounds, on 3 completely separate parts of his body. With that being said, I’ve made a poem, describing… Continue reading
