Your Unseen Confidants – a poem

Hi there, A little quick one I came up with after discovering my phone was listening to every word I said. It knows everything.

Just a Photograph – a haiku sequence

I’ve been thinking of doing something for Bobby Briggs for a while. I was lucky enough to meet Dana Ashbrook in 2014 and he was such a genuine, gracious chap that I grew in appreciation of his character even more.
