The holidays are here upon us. The year has flown by quickly. Most of us are busy with our holiday shopping or traveling to visit family. Let’s take time out to express gratitude for the good things we have this year.
I apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve had problems with ISP and my internet connection has been unaccessible for the past five days. The site will be experiencing some changes soon. Look out for new things in 09!
Happy Holidays!
As promised i’ll review a site and say whether or not its good for you my readers. A site i’ve come across that is most definately interesting and one that relates to poetry quite well is A Hint of Poetry. Here you will find a ongoing contest that ends Dec 19th, 2008, as well as featured clips of poetry from our soldiers and other goodies.
So head on over to A Hint of Poetry and enjoy the great content that is there.
So i’ve updated PoeticMoney to wordpress 2.7 and I must say its a pretty big difference from the last version I had. Its faster, dashboard looks way better, and is easy to access from just about every page i’m on.
Posting is more streamlined and organized, and publishing, well its easy to set the settings for each and every post i’m working on.
This is the 1st step in bringing much needed changes to the site, still working on a custom wordpress theme for it, so bear with me.
Also i’m looking into sites that deserve recommending, so if you know of such a site feel free to shoot me a quick note.
Saw this interesting little stamp from a deviant on deviant art.
And it got me thinking, is this how the world now has to be? where kids can now run around and do whatever they want without the least bit of correction? I remember when growing up that misbehaving especially in public was greeted with a form of correction, and i’m thankful for it because now today i’m a better person.
What do you think of such a situation in society today?

Dedicated to all the hunters…
The smell of a fire from a nearby
farm reigns in the chilly air.
The sun has already begun her decent and
the shadowy moon looms over.
Carpets of red and gold
cover the trodden paths.
Trying to be quiet,
but breaks acorns under his feet.
Catching a wiff of fresh oil mixed with the
clarity of fresh air;
he spots a place to to sit for awhile and wait.
The sun keeps her course and light starts
to fade to dark.
Ahead in the diminishing light
he sees him.
Slowly
he sights him.
The points seems to glow under the moon’s spell.
Pulling the trigger the world crawls.
The bucks falls to the carpet.
a smile crosses his lips;
breathing the night air and
goes to his first buck.
