I wrote this piece when I traveled to Ireland for the first time last year. Been missing it like crazy. I need to go back! It's been a busy year, and a busy month, but I wanted to make at least one contribution to National Poetry Month. One part whiskey, two parts hot brew pouredContinue reading "Morning Whiskey at Red Fox Inn"

I was up and awake forContinue reading "Wanderlust: Washington, D.C., Summer"
