Happy Birthday, Buddy!

Written by Writer Dad on August 9, 2010 - View Comments
Categories: Poetry

My friend just had a birthday Now he’s really, really old His hair’s a shock of silver And his insides filled with mold He’s probably gonna die soon He might not last the day His breathing is so labored It could simply fade away Because he is decaying (And mostly walking dead) When he rises [...]

Today we had parent teacher conferences for Max and Mia. It was the first one for Max, and the first time Cindy and I have been able to attend as a couple. It was awesome to hold hands and sit across from our children’s teachers in tiny seats that made me feel even more Lurch-like [...]

I‘m not sure what I’ll do with this, or even where it came from, but I really wanted to share. Last Friday my muse tapped me on the shoulder and begged me to write this. I was hard at work on something else, but she is a playful minx and I try to indulge her [...]

The Beautiful Promise

Written by Writer Dad on November 10, 2009 - View Comments
Categories: Poetry

On a day so calm, under sky so blue, Just like in a fairy tale, though this story’s true, A mommy and daddy brought a girl to their world. She was tiny and perfect. Her small body curled Into a comma until she stretched out; Giggling, and sniffling, and wiggling about. Her eyes were so [...]

Categories: Poetry

This was a Halloween poem Dave and I did last year. It was one of our very first collaborations ever, you can even see we used the name Collective Inkwell at the bottom, almost a half year before the site went live. I thought it would be fun to run the poem again for Halloween. [...]

Abumchuk the Buffalo

Written by Writer Dad on October 8, 2009 - View Comments
Categories: Poetry

Abumchuk the buffalo, well his bum was all red, So he rubbed on some butter and then went to bed. When he woke in the morning, well to his surprise, He’d grown a new forehead and six sets of sad eyes. Abumchuk the buffalo could do nothing but weep. He shuddered and shivered and then [...]

His smile says he’s ready. His green eyes do agree.

Ten long weeks of summer have all but disappeared Exactly as we’d hoped for and precisely as we feared. Our littlest is growing, not quite as little these last days. Though he is amazingly ready for new kindergarten ways. His smile says he’s ready. His green eyes do agree. And though we are excited, there [...]

Happy Anniversary!

Written by Writer Dad on August 11, 2009 - View Comments
Categories: Poetry

Happy anniversary, these 8 years with you Have been a medal, a trophy, a ribbon that’s blue. The reasons lie nestled in the nest of routine Our forwards and backwards and our in between.
