52 Week Reading Challenge 2018 - UPDATE!
I am a updating this about every month now, so hope things are going well for you. Found some help in Goodreads which has many lists and other helps to find many of these. In fact, I have already created a list called the 52 Week Reading Challenge 2018 to help me and anyone else who needs the help.
I have really enjoyed this challenge and I have found some new writers to dive into and read. But I have also found a subject that really hit me this last book. Prelude to Glory, Our Sacred Honor is about the Revolutionary War and it really piqued my interest in that era of History. I have marked a bunch of books in Goodreads for reading and look forward to trolling Amazon for some others.
So if I have anything to say about this challenge, it has been wonderful in getting me to expand my horizons and get back into reading! Yes, a few of the books have been slogs and have made me wonder why even picked them up but others such as Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child showed me some action and adventure that really got me rolling again. I have had more than a few days where all I wanted to do was read! That is awesome considering there are so many other things out there vying for our time and attention. It feels good but I also feel it challenging me to write on my own novels.
OH and I have completed 29 of the 52 challenges with 6 and a half more months to go so maybe I can accomplish this challenge!
I hope you have found some enjoyment from this and find some authors that you can further explore their world with.

3D Poem, well ok maybe just 2D
Here is a poem in multiple dimensions. I thought of this a lot of years ago and decided to try this one.
You can read it backwards or forwards, top to bottom or bottom to top. ENJOY!!
Darkness Above Sand Below
Everywhere love roses Lilies
None shows their Color
Despair Riddle Black Clouds
Not sure but this seems to work.
What do you think? Leave a comment below!

Ol' Friend
By M.D. Robinson
Hello, ol' friend,
It’s been a while, I
know,
But here you are
again,
Greeting me, just as
before.
Hello, ol' friend,
I’ve returned, it’s
true,
I know I left
without goodbye,
I left mostly because
of you.
Hello, ol' friend,
There you are again,
Embracing me,
welcoming me,
As if I never left.
Your enfolding
embrace,
Brings such
memories,
Such a wellspring of
feelings,
Of a life not many
know.
You were with me as
a boy,
Being constantly
there,
Watching me grow and
play,
Always near yet far.
You were there
again,
As I went to
college,
Torturing me with
your fierceness,
Unforgiving with
your love?
Later as a man,
You embraced me on
any day,
Not really aware of
my mood,
Just there for the
reminder.
Now having left,
I have returned,
And found that I
missed you,
Your icy chill
refreshing all the same.
Many curse you, you
know,
You’re not liked by
any,
I have found though,
That you carry my
memories.
You remind me of my
childhood,
My years of love,
and pain,
You were there as I
grew,
From a boy to a man.
There aren’t many
who'll admit,
But having returned
to Wyoming,
I have found my ol'
friend, once again,
I missed you, your
embrace, your rush.
Now, I have
returned,
Things seem so
right,
I know my purpose,
As well as yours.
Many still curse
you,
But not I,
I know you,
My ol’ friend, WIND!
