Writer's Notebook

Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry?  Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way.  You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like.  I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing.  You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

The tabs at the top of this page offer quick access to my most recent posts and quotes. Additional tabs allow you to check out older posts dealing with the themes of Christian and general poetry, short stories, and other posts.

Big Sky Buckeye has been in motion since October, 2018. After retiring from teaching after 40 years, I was looking for a place to land. It has been a welcome blessing to meet other writers and readers.

My wife is also a gifted writer in her own right. She published her first book in July, 2025. With a theme of Christian family, BITS ‘N’ PIECES OF MY HEART, offers an outlet for her love of Jesus. The book is filled with short stories, poetry, and devotions for more mature readers. For younger children she shares energizing activities and fun songs. Her book is available on most online bookstore sites.

Breathless Tranquility

With persistent breath
Morning answers spirit’s call
Gentle westerly breeze
Earth wrapped up in her shawl

With comforting warmth
Dawn’s early light welcomes all
Darkened sky whisked away
Brightest rays seek landfall

With silence stirring
Landscape at last comes alive
Worldly view awakens
New day ready to thrive

With freedom’s rhythm
Harmony’s refreshing drawl
Breathless tranquility
Timely tune never stalls

With intimate touch
Creator’s dreams never small
Tomorrow cannot wait
Nature fulfills His call

When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.

Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.

Johanne Kepler (1571-1630) was a German mathematician and astronomer. He researched the laws of planetary motion.

Sitting at Father’s side
Christ, our Savior lives
Overcoming darkness
Empty tomb proves He lives

Trusting faith’s witnesses
Christ lights Father’s way
Calling for repentance
Many baptized this day

Transforming fiber’s flesh
Christ welcomes each saint
Sharing love’s forgiveness
Holy Spirit repaints

Receiving redemption
Christ intervening
Teaching with righteous breath
Faith accepts spring-cleaning

Calling upon His name
Christ shares trusted grace
Breaking chains of bondage
Heaven’s light to embrace

In God’s eyes, repentance should not be a passive thought absent of commitment.

Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together.

“From 1 Corinthians 3:16:  “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?“

Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) was a Dutch watchmaker and later on a Christian writer and public speaker. As part of the Dutch resistance during World War II, she and her family protected hundreds of Jewish people from Nazi persecution. Eventually she was captured and sent to a concentration camp. She and a nephew were her  family’s only survivors of the Holocaust.

Daily Offering

Heavenly sunshine

Landscape gathers gift of grace—

Rising every morn

Tender Touch

Gentle breeze above

Cascading with every breath—

Dawn’s signature peace

Invitation Received

Daybreak’s welcome light

Encouraging renewal—

Darkness overcome

Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.

John Muir (1838-1914) was an Scottish-born, American naturalist.  He was one of America’s earliest  advocates for wilderness preservation, and he has been referred to as the “Father of National Parks.”  His unwavering support and influence led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park.
