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.

Timeless Memories

Timeless, endless grains of sand
Distant past calling out
Memories harvested
Every seed plans to sprout

Timeless universe of stars
Distant sparkle of hope
Memories reflected
Lantern’s light seeks to cope

Timeless breath of creation
Distant countenance shines
Memories collected
Every minute’s baseline

Timeless, perpetual heart
Distant ripple of grace
Memories upgraded
Pulse beating to embrace

Timeless tranquility breathes
Distant storms turned away
Memories promoted
Read from lifetime’s screenplay

With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack?

From Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”

Aiden Wilson (A. W.) Tozer (1897-1963) was an American pastor and Christian author. He served as spiritual mentor for many Christians.

Defining Landscape

Every season offers
Personality of light
Nature’s own cycle of time
Defining landscape writes

Each wondrous breath of truth
Settles autumn’s attitude
Forever praising forward
Gathering gratitude

Harmony’s rhythm sings
From surrounding full of peace
Outlook searching for its pause
Composing fall’s release

Abundance of harvest
Humble community prays
Heavenly blessings witness
Viewing from faith’s doorway

Gentleness of north breeze
Evident in mercy’s arms
Seed left over for spring
Replenishing each farm

Margaret Fuller Quotes

Nature seems to have poured forth her riches so without calculation, merely to mark the fullness of her joy.

Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife.

Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) was an American writer, editor, and journalist.
