At ninety-one,
seventy-year-olds
seem so young
because at
that wonderful time
my body was
strong and graceful
not aching
with collapsing legs
So, seventy-year-olds,
who are in
good shape,
revel in
your youth
ninety-one is coming
Novelist Online Onpaper offers my thoughts on writing, reading and publishing--and sometimes the world--at the very least on the first of each month and more often by whim. Periodically, I will review novels from the present and the past, published online or on paper. Hopefully, I won't rain on any novelist, especially those seeking their audience without the help of traditional publishers. My novels are available via Kindle, Amazon and Smashwords through my webpage: www.kennethccrowe.com

I awoke
My dead
wife
stood in
the doorway
of our
bedroom
To see me?
To fetch me?
I wondered
if this
were a sign
she missed
me
as much as I
do her
Desire for
romance
And new
experiences
Brought
what was wanted
The romance
was lovely
While it lasted
New
experiences came
And passed
The
pleasures thinned
The
memories remained
A reviewer using
the name PostScript filed the following review
of THE DREAM DANCER on Kindle:
5.0
out of 5 stars Tells it like it is
Superbly well
written book that really activates the senses and compassion
for the travails of
oppressed people. It also gives deep insight on why the native
American
characters are the way they are and why they react and suffer. There's no happy
ending until
spirit departs the agony of his condition inflicted on earth. A profoundly
moving book.
Four dark
years
lie before
us
Hopefully, our
way
be eased by
sparks
heralding
democracy
until the
ordeal
is over
and Donald
Trump
and his
minions
are swallowed
into a fading
memory
