Single-note poems,
Listen up!
Solos, well & good,
Don’t cut it.
Today, complexities
Rule!
Cacophonous sometimes,
Symphonious
Others, but…
“Collaborative teams” —
That’s our new cachet!
Okay, mister poet.
Slowly. Go slowly.
Add one-part
Harmony. Let’s see
How it goes. (Still…
Isn’t this is a
Single-note poem?)
I’m obviously not dedicated enough yet. First Thanksgiving in the US, then a week-long family visit, and next thing you know, three weeks have gone by since I put up a simple photo. Well, here’s another to hold us over for a few days until I get back on the writing horse. From a recent hike in a nearby state park.
Yep.
Of course any English major knows that writers, perhaps because of their beleaguered early years, have nothing up on car salesmen, realtors, or grain dealers in terms of ethical behavior.

I’ve been in absentia almost as soon as I started this site (khpilcher.com) because I immediately ran into problems making the site match my vision for it: sections on poetry/prose, general essays, religion and philosophy, and a chattier blog that meanders on about beer, writing, friends, music, photography, and anything else that might once have gone on Facebook (may it crash in flames or at least be broken apart as the monopoly that it is).
This is not possible with WordPress.com and a survey of other sites seems to indicate that it can’t be done with WordPress.org either. I’m having to rethink what I will do. My prime purpose for this site is to publish my writing and secondarily, to share my thoughts on objective truth versus subjective desires. A jumbled mess of all the above categories would indeed live up the name of the site: it would be a roomful of voices vying for attention with no focus. This seems undesirable. I’ve got one work-around in mind, but it would be cumbersome and additionally would raise the question, “Why are you paying for a domain and premium services?”
Until that solution is enacted, I’ll drop one or two things in here, but not much. Until then…
