		<title>Urban Lee Ridings and &#8220;Who Lives Alone?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently I was going through a folder I&#8217;ve held onto over the years, which has some of the poems I wrote the old-fashioned way, with a piece of paper and a pencil or pen, along with some similar keepsakes. Among the other pieces in the collection, my mother is a major contributor. She has always [...]

		<title>June 9, 1984:  Dedication, from Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout our lives, my brother and I have enjoyed the wealth of blessings that come from having a mother who is extremely nurturing, strong of heart, spirit and mind, and uniquely powerful as a communicator, mentor, friend and survivor.  Today is her last day at work, where she is effectively graduating into retirement, and [...]

		<title>July 8, 1985: Ask and Receive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I still clearly remember the time, place, circumstances, and even the paper that I wrote on, when I penned the following short poem over 24 years ago.

		<title>October 3, 2009: Amelia, Eightish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ramble #8:  Amelia, Eightish
Sweetness in the flesh, sunshine itself,
in feminine form, the essence of youth.
Deep of spirit, light of heart and touch&#8230;
her happy meditations are illuminating.
Her calm is radiant, her troubles tempests.
Stand in her way at great personal risk.
Anything might come to pass in her lifetime.
God loves Amelia&#8230; eight and growing.

		<title>August 14, 1997:  Not Tonight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Not Tonight&#8221;
by Roger Darnell
The things I find entertaining aren’t things I can write about.
I like to imagine stories about our cat, taming her world,
unafraid and attitudinal, eccentric and, well, beautiful. 
Our other cat inspires her own happy go lucky devil-may-care
cavalier and friendly tales&#8230; which are still just cat fancies.
Romantic stories from Europe, South America
and Pennsylvania Amish [...]

		<title>November, 1989:  Trial By Fire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She stared, almost against her will, beginning to wonder whether Reverend Wallace's neighbor might somehow be able to fulfill her spiritual needs. She found herself being weakened by his voice… and his promise. He saw her look, and he smiled. "I can help you--no charge. It would be my pleasure."

Tomorrow it will be twenty-one years since I began writing the following poem. That&#8217;s another story, and perhaps, another post&#8230; maybe one for twenty-one years from tomorrow.
I selected the poem this evening after searching through the spreadsheet containing an archive of my poems with the date I wrote each one, collection information, and a column [...]
