Merry Christmas!
Mothers
A uniting force
Keeping mewlings safe and sound
Neighborhood mothers
While I was lucky to have been raised by an incredible mother, I was also privileged to have grown up in a neighborhood of warrior mothers. I had a sense of a sound safety net. That I would never go hungry. My skinned knee would be immediately doused in Bactine in front of whichever house I crashed my bike. A snow day meant making the rounds of homes for hot chocolate in between hours of sledding or skating. Some mother was always looking out for me -or relaying inappropriate behavior if warranted. Born during the depression, that generation of mothers had a rough childhood so they made sure we didn’t. Almost all the warrior mothers of my childhood are gone now as that generation fades into fond memories.

A PornStar is Born
A jawbreaker the size of a fist
Is certainly not to be missed
I must unhinge my jaw
To a cavernous maw
A pornstar is now in your midst
Firelight
Snuggled in sleeping bags
Under a starry canopy
We whisper sweet nothings
While the campfire wanes

Silence
My first morning
Without you here
Deafening silence
Absurd
Whale gracefully feeds
On drifting plastic plankton
Death by starvation
I am keenly aware that I am part of the problem: http://bit.ly/2kwnMn6

Dilemma
It’s Amazing Out There
OK, I despise shameless self-promotion. I have absolutely no problem when other people do it, as a matter of fact, I admire it. But this “It’s Amazing Out There” photo contest is important to me so I am going to suck it up and post this. Part of this contest includes a “fan favorites” part. If you are interested in giving me your vote please go to the following link on the main page and search for cjdraper. I submitted more than one photo but the one labeled “Coming Storm” is my personal favorite (see below). At any rate, there are a lot of talented photographers with stunning photos posted so please give someone your love, even if it isn’t me. You are allowed to vote for one photo per day. The open voting ends August 26th. Thanks!
