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.

Familiar Road

Posted on October 29, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

Expectations
Creator’s blueprint
Renewing spirit
Every footprint

Genuineness
Overnight transforms
Hearing autumn’s voice
Nature’s platform

Transformation
October’s delights
Filling every leaf
All colors bright

Celebration
Announced with each hue
Marking time’s passage
Sky remains blue

Companionship
Joins landscape’s crossroads
Mapping out each fall’s
Familiar road

From Big Sky Buckeye

With each falling leaf, God reminds us to look deeper into the narrative of autumn.

Do you write a daily journal? This inspiring thought comes from my journal, and much of what is written in my journal comes from reading and commenting on other bloggers’ posts. Thanks to many of you for adding so much to my journal.

F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

It is not life that’s complicated, it’s the struggle to guide and control life.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist and short story writer. Much of his best writing occurred during the Jazz Age, with THE GREAT GATSBY being recognized as his best work.

Source of Comfort

Posted on October 28, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 94:12-13: “Happy are those whom You discipline, O Lord, and whom You teach out of Your law, giving them respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.”

Facing adversity
Heart overwhelmed with doubt
Remembering Jesus
His truth remains devout

Blinding evil’s darkness
Dawn rises with His Word
Witnessing trust in Christ
Courage shadows what’s heard

Sowing seeds to harvest
Disciplined to seek peace
Finding hope in Jesus
Justice echoes faith’s lease

Enduring challenges
Life buffeted with fears
Accepting grace of Christ
Faithfulness always clear

Binding up righteous love
Source of comfort soars
Standing tall with Jesus
Mercy opens His door

From Psalm 94:22: “But the Lord has become my stronghold and my God the rock of my refuge.”

Richard J. Foster Quote

Posted on October 28, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer: Intercession is a way of loving others.

From John 15:26: “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, He will testify on My behalf.“

Richard J. Foster (born 1942) is an American author and Christian theologian.
