about me

I have written screen plays, short stories, and a novel. Some of my pieces are unusual, they don't quite fit into a common category. Any comment would be appreciated, even if it is about the piece being unusual.

I read writers' pieces here and comment, time permitting.

"Charles Dupree was a Bad Man"....

Elmolake

Charles Dupree was a bad man. Something bad happened to him, that is from Charles' point of view.


Charlie Dupree couldn’t be happy with what he had Charlie Dupree went acting bad He had to have what he had to have Or Charlie Dupree would go mad Elena was a Spanish queen Who only wanted to be let be But Charlie wouldn’t let her out the door Charlie needed all of her and more Charlie no no no Don’t you know You have to be badder than bad When you start to act so Mark your territory With fear and bile But it’s about territory Not your style In the end The forces that be Are less about power And more bout family Alone on the roadside With a bullet in his back No one to blame But a dying old man Charlie you have to be badder than bad Or you will be Rolled by the sea The current is strong And the water is deep Deeper than your jealousy

 

Crow Diary (Dec. 25, 2007 – A....

Elmolake

I completed with the help of my bike a survey of crows in urban southeast Portland, OR. Why? - you tell me.


The name for this work is “Crow Diary” since crows, even though I wrote much that had little to do with crows, were the impetus for my work On my diary journey I discovered the world crows live in, my neighborhood. It’s not up there with Paris or the Grand Canyon on the list of most desired vacation destinations. It is a land only a few go to visit. Most folks just happen through it. I discovered in my neighborhood not only a present land but a past land, one full of interesting sites and creatures, some of them ghosts. “Site seeing” in my neighborhood became for me much like visiting Paris I think is to an upper middle class person. And it didn’t cost me much at all.

read the first five entries and skimmed ahead, liked it, chosing conservative north dakota farm country and farmers as the characters adds to the biblical quality of the piece, a notion introduced in the quote from revelations, and indeed there does seem some what of a morality play, charlie amongst... view book

liked this, read the first four entries, great set up in the prologue and the blurb, the idea of ones chosen by the gods will catch much interest, wonder if there will be references to the olympian pantheon, clear prose makes it highly readable, seems that the first person in the prologue is the nar... view book

i like this work, much, read the first four entries, the introduction of the unusual into the usual makes for good humor and keeps the reader interested, and they do have some interesting points (for example earth will be destroyed partly becuase well to do women want to have sex with a hero), in t... view book

i like it, what is John Crow's motiviation, it is hard to ferret out, i think it is becuase rationalization plays such a strong role with him, things are never his fault, they are arnie's or anne's, they have to do with his wife's teriible upbringing, which she cannot bring her self to discuss with ... view book

i liked it, read the first four chapters, sumptuous, much descriptive detail, not only do we get a picture of the village and characters we get the smells, important ones, it is the smell of linseed oil that madge uses to place gerald,it seems that we to a degree are getting madge's detailed view of... view book
