"New Haiku" about only one line poem
A documentary named, "Vegas Streets" airs on television, subsequent to the "Great Mafia Massacre" that happened in Detroit in 1969.
Still Standing is a fantasy that has been living in Don Solenberger's mind for many years, yearning to be told. Don's mother homesteaded on the Dakota plains and often retold the story of a wagon rolling into town with its passengers suffering from arrow wounds. Don worked for the Connecticut Life Insurance Company, who had as an early president, Jacob Greene, the best man at the wedding of George Armstrong Custer and Elizabeth Bacon. He has had a lifelong fascination with Civil War history. He was intrigued by the life of Custer's widow, who outlived her husband by 54 years. She became a woman entrepreneur, mostly retelling her husband's exploits in books and worldwide lecture tours. Her devotion prompted the thought, "What might have happened to two ambitious lovers had the Battle of the Little Big Horn not separated them?"

Informational brochure for the fundraising campaign to restore the historic sanctuary of Citadel Square Baptist Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
Take a journey into the strange and magical land known as the Mea Culpa Valley; an area with a long and proud history of profound weirdness and absolute lunacy. The residents of a small chunk of squalor known as Timbrook are visited by a precocious knight on a quest, and inadvertently become swept up in a hysterical adventure like none ever before witnessed. Magic, mystery, mayhem and intrigue abound as a powerful warlord’s plot to take over the entire region is slowly uncovered, also revealing the ancient secrets of a powerful stone that may or may not actually be a piece of petrified dragon excrement. Full of laughs, adventure, intrigue, romance and hilarious characters, the Porridge King is a laugh-out loud good time!
This short story is written from the view of a Half caste Maori woman in the 1800s, in the aftermath of her husbands death she struggles with the restraints of her culture and her very being. It contrasts the Western beliefs with the more naturalistic ones of the Maori people.
A young boy's life changes when the mythical Knights of the Round Table arrive at his village.
It is easy to forget, in these closing chapters of Isaiah, that God is re-introducing Himself to His people. Along with these passages is an ever increasing refinement of what He considers as important and just how He plans to intervene in history. The Lord shows the tender side of His Fatherhood, as well as, the power side of His authority.
