dVerse OLN 395 — Dearest Lake
taken on 110625 Dearest Lake, Upon your sugar shoulders I’ve toddled,chased minnows in your shallows, dugfor clams with growing, waterlogged feet.I’ve squealed, held on on you in ski-boat donuts. My friend had a keep-dry wrap;her hand healing from a barb wired fence.Never far from you, with innumerable rides,drives, innertubes, sailboats; your exhalescasting fishy seaweed stench into our noses,

Also included will be a link for anyone who may be interested in participating in POPO 2026.

POPO 2025 — Day 33 — Avenue of Trees
Avenue of Trees Cloud sky stew merries the world in palest hue. Hot dead air replaced, cool breeze wafts through. It’s soft, the wind, it brushes my skin as doors open, a/c offed, perfect summer day. No appointments, deadlines; I take a ride on my bike down the avenue of rustling trees. Another one for a friend.

It may seem impossible to have hope in these turbulent days
But America has been through much worse, and recovered-every time
The Civil War
The Great Depression
World Wars I and II
The Civil Rights era
So don’t give up
Stay engaged
Support one another
We will get through this
And we will win

Mouth Cemetery visit August 17, 2025
Mouth Cemetery is located about 20 miles north of here, in Montague, MI. Reports of it being haunted have surfaced over the years, and I visited there some time ago to walk the grounds and take pictures and see if I picked up on any weird vibes. I didn't feel anything strongly, but after getting home and looking at the pics, I noticed that there was many orbs clustered around the iron fence that surrounds the cemetery and around one of the signs.

Happy Halloween 2025!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL! I've been gathering pictures all October for this post. Some were taken at the school, others at the library, and many at Old Faithful, FMG. Besides the tombstones with epitaphs above, from a dVerse prompt, are already mentioned photos, a short video, and a Spotify playlist that was put together last year. I hope you enjoy the Halloween celebration as much as I do.

Her frankenbelly pale, a shaved expanse criss-crossed with thin, dark suture. “Bad news,” I message my kids, “will tell you more later.” Honestly, I don’t have the heart. Why such a small, gentle cat was given a life filled with misery, loneliness, and pain is a mystery.

POPO 2025 — Day 29 — Party Music
Party Music The neighbors are having a party with an arsenal of music. Sometimes one bullet at a time, with syncopated beats. Sometimes a stream, saturated with death potential. Where do the bullets go as their sounds reach my ears? Am I paranoid in my fears?
