Below is a poem I wrote long ago when a days-long hot summer sun baked more than the land around us. * * * You are full brazen, Your swollen tan lies crisp on sunbaked sand. You call attention to a distraction and her snug rounded smooth firm thighs But you take her breasts in … Continue reading Siriasis, Poem 010-2023-0603

Re-Introducing Vree
A year ago this month, I began a blog called Vree Erickson. It was about a recurring main character from my years as an author of Fantasy/Sci-Fi stories. That blog preceded this one by three months. It was short-lived in favor of blogging about more than Vree and my writing endeavors. In the first post … Continue reading Re-Introducing Vree
An Easter Passing, Poem 009-2023-0409

But I with a burlesque smile am sad to watch … Continue reading An Easter Passing, Poem 009-2023-0409
Melted Ice, Poem 008-2023-0407

My teacher helped me to understand story structure the best she could, but it was enough to create an aha moment that aroused my interest in writing more stories. The more stories I wrote, the more my interest in the craft grew. … Continue reading Fantasy Short Story 007-2023-0320
