Storm Spiders
At night
after the storm
broken branches
litter the road
like giant tarantulas.
My Grandfather's Gun
I have my grandfather's gun, a .32 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. I don't know if he ever fired it. I also have my other grandfather's gold deputy sheriff's badge for Kent County, Michigan. Both enlisted in the Army in WWI and by WWII they were in their 40s as volunteer Deputy Sheriffs, deputized to serve as because the younger men were serving in the military. Both had John in their name. Named after their fathers.
Reading About Jack Kerouac
All the life put into him: the books, the trips, the loves, the seasons. And then one moment. like everyone else, it's gone.
Expiration Date
Time arrives in crates
from a far off distributor
unloaded in the back room
and sold retail.
The Optimist Creed
The green light is always waiting for you at the busy intersection.
Welcome, John:) Love having some of WC folks among us.
Some great works in brevity. I am big sister, here. So you can ask me anything and I will help if I can:)
Some folks you might like to friend @old-guy-photos @dswigle @lecumberre @tattoodjay @generikat @jayna @rossfletcher @quotes-haven @tezmel @johannpiber @dpend.active
Photography is big on here and perfect to pair with poems and prose.
Thanks Pryde for inviting me in. Appreciate the mentoring and support. Will check these out, posting and exploring as I go.

Awe, Thanks Pryde, you know me so well, I love getting new Hive friends!
@whitworth I delegated 100HP to you, loaning you enough power to be able to post and engage, leaving comments to people to get yourself going. You had 0 power and it will not let you post. I won't take it back until you get established with a little power of your own.
Good luck!
Thanks. Not sure what I'm doing yet but exploring.
That is fine, but, without any power (you have zero) you wouldn't be able to comment or write another post. Pryde will most likely give you the lowdown on things. If you need any help, let me know. I will try to point you in the right direction. ;)
Go to the communities for photography and check them out. Many contests.
Welcome, John! I love great works in brevity. :) If there is anything you need help with, feel free to ask. In the meantime, check out the different communities and tags so that your work can find a proper audience.
Also: Don't forget to do an introduce yourself post. Check out the #introduceyourself tag and see what they are like. It is a great way to get spread around. Just click on the tag and it will bring you there!
I'm taking you back home with me.
Hang on, I live all the way over --------> There.
Welcome John! You picked a perfect time to join Hive! We have such a great community here and there is something for everyone.
My advice for starting out is to be as social as possible, meaning the best way for people to notice you is to go out and make good comments.
Thanks! Slowly trying to figure it all out.
No worries man we have all been there when we started. Feel free to ask questions as there is an awful lot to learn, but it is fun!

Welcome John,
I have also delegated some Hive to you to help you getting started here. I am more a photographer and not so much a writer. Have a look at the communities which might suit to you, have fun and success 👍🤞
Thank John. Appreciate your generosity. Lots to learn. Will check out the communities section. John K.
You're much welcome, John, I'm happy if I can help a little bit.
The Hive is a little confusing in the beginning, I know, but most of us here are quite nice 😉
