Just to hear from his brain
He seemed perfectly sane
But to look, one must notice his pinafore

Finding Forgiveness

August 24, 2011Mary Jo1 Comment on Finding Forgiveness

I was fuming, but I knew I needed to get over it. She hadn’t done anything terrible but the circumstances had been such, that her carelessness had left me feeling abandoned. Why didn’t she see it? Why was she so sure that she had done nothing wrong?…

For Ony

I have a dear aunt named Devona,
Who is true to her lovely persona,
It’s her birthday today,
And I feel I must say,
Years just add to her glowing corona.

I have not felt like I have time to do blogging justice lately so I haven’t blogged.

Poor Eraser

August 5, 2011May 10, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on Poor Eraser

Who strictly made art as a tracer?

Jeremy Muggs

July 29, 2011May 10, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Jeremy Muggs

Do You Tell Them?

July 27, 2011July 9, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Do You Tell Them?
