Haiku
liquid eye of a god in the
October night sky
Long day. I thought about writing something about Wal-Mart, but I didn't have it in me tonight.
A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.
I was born on Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, then lived a while in Fayetteville, North Carolina, before moving, at the age of 5, to Walnut, NC. I graduated from Madison High School in 1977. After a brief time in college, I spent the most of the 1980s in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a songwriter and playing in a band. I spent most of the 1990s in school and now teach at a university in Tennessee. My household includes wife and son and cat. In South Carolina I have a son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.

Can't imagine a Wal-Mart poem!
That sounds like a challenge Mark!
PS The number of words in today's poem are perfect for me!
Nice
