The Killing Sleep
The Vietnam Veterans were harassed when they came home. Harassed after risking their lives; harassed after watching fellow soldiers and friends get killed; harassed after witnessing some of the most horrendous things that one human could do to another. These soldiers deserved to receive the treatment that our current military receives – whether we believed in the war or not. Please, the next time you meet a Vietnam Veteran, thank him for his service to our country. They were following orders – not creating the policy.

Below are the poems for “Sherril”.

Entangled Update
So, some of you may have noticed me messing around with different donate buttons and different ways to get you to consider donating. Finally, tonight, I have decided that the best thing to do is to write out my vision. If you choose to help me get there, great! If not, Great!
Of course, the blog is a means to several ends:
- Learning my writing skills
- Sharing what I am learning
- Putting Entangled into as many homeless shelters as possible
- Marketing new projects
Arizona’s Hope
On a dark stretch of a lonely mountain highway curving up from the barren, austere, yet beautiful landscape of the Tucson desert, two people who are experiencing different viewpoints and roles in domestic violence situations meet in a most horrific manner. Will the abusive police officer be changed? Will the beautiful abused wife be saved?
