For those who claim there is no intelligent life on the Internet, this series of pages were created. I present poetry, previously published and unpublished, so that others may come and be inspired by what they see. I will gladly include pieces by others who have been inspired by their visit here, so send your submissions to my e-mail. My own pieces came first, but look small compared to some of the verse I've received from friends. Artworks by masters like Boris Vallejo & Val Mayerik are included, as well as some wonderful pictures sent me by friends (I always try to give credit where credit is due), and I have recently included links to the lyrics of the songs I've used (just click on the song title) [added note: Due to space restrictions, all pictures and artwork have been limited to 75-100 ppi. An apology for the related quality.](March 2017: On coming in and going through my site, most of the midi's were no longer working. Sorry. No more music.)
This site will always be changing, so come by often.
You never know what the Mirror of Galadriel will show you......
Come closer, and look into my magic basin...

NEW November 1, 2016: As the people on Facebook know, I had a seizure on June 23/24 (it was around midnight when we hit the hospital in Millinocket) and the CAT scan showed "something unusual". I was taken to Portland while Bill was packing up all our stuff and getting all our camp gear back to Gray. An MRI showed that I had a Glioma (a brain tumor), and I spent almost all of July in the hospital as they were trying to get it out.
The oligodendroglioma, as it turned out to be, is Stage Two - which basically a pretty tame as those go - and, at this point, I've been through radiation. Chemotherapy starts next week.
So if you're calling Northern Bard Publications about doing a web page, that has been temporarily scrapped. It takes everything I can do right now to deal with my day to day, so expecting me to deal with a web site build is a bit much to deal with. I AM doing some editing, but I'm nowhere near my normal skill.
Please keep this in mind as you get in touch with me: I'm trying to stay alive and some days, it's good. Other days, I sleep a lot.
Please also go to my blog, Living In A Writer's Head, and read the blogs that mention "Ghosts". This has allowed me to keep in touch with everyone and still function.
Thank you for understanding, and Blessed Be.

And now the lecture: Please note that all the works on these pages belong solely to the poets/writers who wrote them or artists who created them. I only put them here to share them with you and have included some form of recognition of the original artists whenever they have been known - not only satisfy copyright laws, but to give credit where credit is due. If you wish to use them, please be sure to protect copyrights of those whose artistic abilities went into the creation of these pages by giving them credit. Quoting an artist is a form of flattery. Claiming their works as your own is plagiarism.
