to bless intimation


As sand shifts in surf
shadows move with sun's
intimation of day's progression,
may the sands beneath your feet
always speak the truth change brings.
May subtle textured support
and skillful adjustments
constantly maintain balance.

May intimation received and offered bring personal
treasure to life through moments of reason,
understanding, spiritual enrichment. May the friendship
intimation nurtures through a wink, nod, or outstretched arm
gather strength in the body language of gentle warmth.

May the intimation of language be honest and graceful, becoming
a transposition of words carrying their emotion
with light confidence knowing that
whether fierce or subdued, whispered or screamed,
the arriving has the blessed result intended.

Let intimation yield just fruit to bless
and curse not all those that receive.
And may life's yearnings respond to intimation
through observing the constancy in nature,
witnessing the embrace of each day's change.

Greeting fair writer, poet, artist of written word!


We, the Charlatans of the digital seas, are a community of artists and writers, and have been watching you! We have recently acquired a new vessel, by means best not spoken of. Fit and proper she is, well structured and ready for long voyages. While we have some crew who have err volunteered, we are needing new crew of your known talent. The vessel is The Inferno, and the crew a select few hand picked by us, the Navigator-Dreamer, and the Mistress of the ship.


The Inferno, will be sailing under the flag of The Artists Challenge and Dante’s Pub. She’ll be ready for unimaginable adventure and challenge, soon to cast off. We’re in search of rich plunder of all types, poetry, short stories, and of course works of visual art. We have our own tavern, with a private back room, for conversation and good cheer. Membership is free, that’s right, won’t cost you a pence. We are very selective, can’t let just any vagabond in… but we choose you!


So come along, join this wandering group if charlatans of literature and art. Beware of the Pub Wench, keep the booze hidden from Wench Sonya, and pay no mind to the bantering about the mysterious plank.
