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.

Harvested Grace

From Ephesians 2:4-6: “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

Unconditional love
Grace descends from God’s heart
Connected to Him above
Man receives renewing start

Heavenly grace flows out
With Savior’s rising tide
Nourished with God’s love aglow
Righteous mercy always guides

By grace, man’s salvation
Hung on Calvary’s tree
Forgiveness loves each nation
Enemy’s darkness shall flee

Faith’s fabric now strengthened
Harvested grace unites
Redemption’s spirit deepens
Steadfast love remains in flight

Father’s grace positioned
Journey of peace begins
Mankind’s hope reconditioned
Christ’s love forever weighs in

From Hebrews 4:16: “Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

With every sunrise, God’s light of goodness prepares our daily journey of faith . . . nourished with His grace.

Every single person you see today was created by God and for His pleasure. Each one is a gift. Pay attention to the people you meet, talk with them, pray for them, and encourage them.

From Romans 12:16: “Live in harmony with one another; do not be arrogant, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.”

Davis Love III (born 1964) is an American professional golfer. He has openly shared his Christian faith with others.

My wife and I have returned to the Buckeye state after three weeks of travel and spending time with family. I am looking forward to resuming my regular posting schedule. It will be wonderful to catch up with many of you through your own writings.

I am asking for others to join my family in prayer for our mother in Montana. Martha is 88 years old, and she is bravely facing the challenges of dementia in her journey.

Intimacy with Words

Intimacy with words
Flowing through writer’s pen
Around every corner
Connecting once again

Rendezvous’ inner self
Finding rhythm’s rewards
Another page finished
Unleashing what’s been stored

Opportunity’s breath
Rising with morning’s light
Precious minutes smile back
Composing what feels right

Familiar journey’s peace
Searching depth of each phrase
Trust finds welcome landing
Igniting thoughts ablaze

Each quiet reflection
Waking now to deploy
Focused on tender points
Dispensing heartfelt joy

Writing is manual labor of the mind: a job, like laying pipe.

Because one has written other books does not mean the next becomes any easier.

John Gregory Dunne (1932-2003) was an American writer.

New Covenant’s Breath

From Psalm 89:1-2: “I will sing of Your steadfast love, O Lord, forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations. I declare that Your steadfast love is established forever; Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.”

Transformation of peace
Gathered in God’s hands
Fulfillment of His Word
Messiah comes to stand

Hearts filling with truth
Opened in God’s light
Hope stirring from darkness
Calvary’s welcome flight

Never forsaken
Loved through God’s caring
Steadfast grace now descends
Savior’s forthwith sharing

New covenant’s breath
Charged from God’s boldness
Praises full of wonder
Christ transforms sin’s coldness

Enemy trembles
Quashed by God’s own hand
Holiness lives throughout
Redemption comes as planned

From Psalm 89:5-6: “Let the heavens praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord.”
