An interesting piece of driftwood featuring curves and knobs. The background shows white cap waves on Lake Michigan and the mid ground shows sand, with darker lines caused by the waves.

Blues Of The Month Club
YouTube video by Dan Penn - Topic Blues Of The Month Club

From "Smoke Filled Room", a new compilation of unreleased tracks, curated by legendary songwriter Dan Penn himself.

"Blues Of The Month Club", perhaps known as blues song by Joe Louis Walker before.
But Dan Penn's own version adds more soul to it.

Sometime during 2025's Winter: my Harley Quinn is reaching her gray fluffy paw out to me from underneath the tan polar fleece sheets. A teal blanket shows along the top of the picture. Slightly purring, she is as snug as a kitty-bug.  

Oh, my heart!  ₍^̮-̣^̮₎ zᶻ 💖

Old Bones in the #Cold

take a walk on the wild side
go out in the cold
whispering pines
amongst bones of trees
searchin‘ for a heart of gold
arguing with ghosts

Broken Truth
YouTube video by Tim Grimm - Topic Broken Truth

"Don’t it break your heart? ‘Cause it breaks my heart
Damn that man who tears this country apart
He’s got no shame, he’s got no soul
He’s got no poetry inside to make him whole"

TRUTH BE TOLD (for GOOD)

They told us it would rain
But as time went by
The land dried up
We‘re waiting in vain

They told us there‘s no rain
But when we looked up
Ice covered blood
They are lying for gain

They say it would rain
Maybe this time it‘s true
All hopes that will do
Wash away ICE & pain

A single curled, dried leaf clings to a slender twig jutting from the trunk of a tree. The leaf is brown and brittle, its surface etched with prominent veins and a crinkled texture that suggests the final stages of decay. Its edges are curled inward, forming a delicate arc that catches the light. The twig is thin and slightly angled, emerging from the tree’s bark like a fragile arm holding onto the past. The tree trunk is light brown with a rough, fibrous surface, and the lighting casts a sharp, well-defined shadow of the leaf and twig onto the bark. This shadow mirrors the leaf’s shape with striking clarity, adding depth and contrast to the composition. The background is dark and softly blurred, creating a dramatic separation between foreground and backdrop. The overall mood evokes quiet resilience and the passage of time, with the leaf serving as a poignant symbol of seasonal transition and lingering memory.

A leaf that clings through winter’s call
Shows how to rise when moments fall
Its shadow leans with gentle sway
A whispered promise of a brighter day

A brittle leaf clings to a twig, casting a sharp shadow on rough bark. A quiet moment of texture, light, and seasonal memory.

Maybe you can imagine a bird in the blue sky, maybe not.

The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue"
