Much of what is written here is poetry, but there are prose pieces interspersed, all written by Michael Wayne Holland. Also, there are blog entries from further back about living with post traumatic stress disorder. Full range of topics are fleshed, much based on life experiences, and much observed and imagined. I believe there is an internal truth to the writings, fiction or non-fiction.

Wisdom
* While I thought this was not my best write, it received a trophy on AllPoetry. It is a fun site, for those writers who want to practice writing with new prompts in a time limit. This was under the Quickie section, so I literally had to come up with a ten line poem in 2 hours based on this particular topic.Anyway, I hope you all appreciate the effort, and I encourage people to play along, not just for the trophies, but some of the feedback you get from other writers is actually useful, and others, naturally, you can discard. Have a great weekend.
Like the old adage proclaims:
I wish I knew then what I know now,
as if some secret chamber of knowledge
would protect me from the claret choices
I made, good, or bad, or indifferent.
There is never a question of what is correct
and what constitutes a mistake.
I never would have put ink to paper
if I did not have tales to weave and wonder. .
Such as I am, I have grown in wisdom.
