The beauty of the feminine eye can lend itself to embellishment that transcends natural gifts, and as the ecstatically happy Mate, Husband, and co-conspirator of a Woman with eyes both to live and to die for, it is my decree that today’s Dark Sentiment is all about seasonal eye candy. This year has seen the […]

Today’s Dark Sentiment may or may not be appropriately titled, but no matter. What follows was inspired by SFM, and led to me turning an old joke I heard a long time ago from a Bermudian broadcaster into a poem that ends with poop. Before that though, it has a near death experience, rescue, bad […]

Welcome, Dear Reader, to yet another season of Dark Sentiments; being our traditional 31 October days of musings, revelations, exposé, poetry, literature, visual arts, and myriad dark expressions of the Human spirit, all chosen from the sort most in the world have spent the past year trying desperately to avoid, or pretend into nonexistence. This […]

The picture above explains the reason for my absence of late – Viktor Ryszard Lawrence Whynacht was born to Mrs. LFM and me at 02:10 Atlantic Daylight Time on 3 September 2013 – miraculously at almost exactly the same time and on the same date on which, in 2001, I grabbed his perfect Mother, pushed […]

Yesterday, Mrs. LFM and I learned that the child we are expecting to be born this coming August is a boy. Evidently, even in matters that are beyond the reach of conscious control, we are still traditionalists. So now, the subject of naming this boy can be addressed. Unlike other parents who go at the […]

Written words are visual guides to the making of sounds that, when uttered aloud, convey meaning. An example is the word “label”. A label can be a physical object that, when applied to another object, conveys important information about it. What it is, who made it, what it’s made of, how to use it, how […]

Sixteen weeks as of yesterday, and the SFM is ticking along like a little but fast growing clock. As I meditate on life with whoever has the honour of bestowing the treasured Title of Mother on Mrs. LFM, and Father upon me, I’m honing my repertoire of musical talents against the day when they will […]

Last year I published a poem here in celebration of Mrs. LFM’s birthday. Today we celebrate another, and if you’ve read what I put here yesterday, you’ll know this to be an unusually special one. Today as a blizzard swirls around us, I’m building on the foundation of last year with two more verses dedicated […]

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of an event for which I will be forever thankful to the Universe – the birth of my Beloved Diana, half a world away in Poland. Nearly a year ago, I commemorated her birthday with a poem. One of many she’s inspired, and will come to inspire. Yet this year of […]
