I love these videos- they’re sounds of storms and I find them to be inspirational!
When I’m writing music can be a bit of a distraction, but the sounds of howling winds and rain, storms and even the sounds of logs crackling in a fireplace are just perfect .
I hope you find them useful too!

RDP Thursday – ARCHITECT
Concrete, steel, broken roads and sidewalks that go nowhere
Walmart Shoppers and Gunhumpers standing beer belly to jowls at the corner store
where you can still buy beef jerkey and pickles from a fly speckled plastic jar.
Trucks belching diesel fumes,country music, cheap after shave and aqua net-” Beep
Beep, git outta my way! ‘Murica First y’all!” the trucks cry out to uncaring traffic
cameras.
You can build roads that will take you to anywhere you want to go, houses and buildings that will sing and talk and keep you warm and cool you off on the hottest of days.
Or
you can build a ruin on purpose and call it a home.
Imhotep wept, can’t we do better than that?

DAILY ADDICTIONS PROMPT: BREAD
Photo A.M. Moscoso
Some people have stories
about watching their Grandmothers or Great Grandmothers
baking fresh bread in their kitchens.
The sun was always streaming through the windows on those bread baking days
as Grandma told her stories about her Mother baking bread
once upon a time and long ago
and magically you could still smell Spring flowers in her warm Fall kitchen
as she melodically told her story
and you clung to each word.
Sweet memories
always warm and tasty as we share them
exactly like the bread Grandma used to bake.
My Grandma
didn’t bake bread and she didn’t tell sweet kitchen stories
from long ago.
My Grandmother
used to tell me ghost stories
that she kept warm on her baker’s rack
we shared them
hungrily, ravenously
between us when the world was dead asleep.
Her stories still come alive for me
and
they magically fill the air
falling around me like crispy autumn leaves
when I am in my kitchen
and the world is dead asleep
and winter is setting in.
RDP Wednesday – EMBELLISH
Every year some members of the population throw hissy fits because of what is or isn’t on Starbuck’s Holiday Coffee cups and those same members are convinced that there is a “War On Christmas “
To the first point- I don’t care what Starbuck’s does or doesn’t put on their coffee cups because I don’t drink coffee- I’ve never liked the taste. But I do like the cups to be festive because I get my dog Puppucinnos and I like for his cups to be snazzy looking because he is the most awesome dog ever.
To the second point- there is no war on Christmas. If there were do you think you’d see Christmas decorations up before we get a chance to see our Jack-O-Lanterns get sad and moldy on our porches?
However- if there were Christmas cards like the ones below on the shelves and Krampus was decking our halls and showing up at parades and at the Malls then you can bet your sweet Mistletoe that the same Coffee Cup Haters would be screaming bloody murder about that and demanding that this Devilish mayhem be stopped at once.
Myself, I love the edgy Christmas of long ago and I bring it back in my own way each year- and here’s a sample of decorations from simpler times and if you have a problem with that go and get yourself a Puppuccino and calm the heck down.
Krampus might see you acting up and you wouldn’t want that.
I would, but trust me- you would NOT.
