Okay. I must be bored off my rocker. I figure that I’ll torture you with funny holiday poetry that I wrote up.
I hope everyone out there takes a moment and appreciates what they have. There are a lot of people in my life that I care for, a lot of people I love, and I […]
This goes into the “Barry is a disturbed person” file. One of my friends challenged me to write about something she thought was cute and fun, and I obliged her request with a demented smile. (Mwhwhahahahaha!). It needs some work, I’m not claiming it to be perfect yet…. but it fills my ‘eViL’ qouta for […]
On the open sea
We are what we will be
Some call us thieves
Which is true indeed
A reason we earned such bounty
But let us see
If pirates we will be

As pirates we will be
On […]

A spirit within me needed to be free
Simple desire told me that I wasn’t even breathing

Maybe next time I’ll have some
