Poet Introduction
65 yo and I have taken up the pen (key pad) after a long hiatus. My focus in writing now is on having a clear intention and then realizing that intention.

Shadow House*
Outwardly passable
It's known better years
It's seen more visitors
In fairer weather
There is much and more
To be done inside
The walls bathed in sepia
How often have I noted this
Quiet! There's something else
Pernicious, even pestilential
It's felt most in the long corridor
On the upper floor.
Staring down its length (once again)
sconces long in disrepair
Sight narrows, seeing only
Ashen hues at tunnel's end
Pupils constrict.
From here, all else is empty and mute
All warnings...

Staring down its length (once again)
sconces long in disrepair
Sight narrows, seeing only
Ashen hues at tunnel's end
Pupils constrict.
From here, all else is empty and mute
