Verisimilitude

 Verisimillitude





















Claiming false Verisimilitude

 and deceptive Truth,

with hollow Credibility

 and fallacious Authenticity,

noting spurious Reliability,

 it is questionably Plausible,

that the inaccurate Likelihood

 of incorrect Perfection,

everything I’ve said

 is Verifiably invalid.


Peace and love all,

Jim

Autumn

Autumn
James M M Baldwin
 
Gold leaves clatter on high perches.
Copper coins drift on cool breezes.
 
Red leaves uncover naked oak branches.
Yellow conceals forgotten summer trails.
 
Squirrels hiding acorns chatter at work.
Canadian geese gather honking flocks.
 
Dust clouds shadow tractors harvesting.
Cinnamon sugar sweetens hot cider.
 
Halloween hauntings scare little children.
Pumpkins carved into spooky jack lanterns.
 
Bountiful meals enjoyed in thanks giving.
Families rejoice in their reunions.
 
Autumn




Peace and love,
Jim

Little Black Box

Little Black Box
James M M Baldwin
 
My little black box wakes me up every morn.
My little black box says which jacket I wore.
 

With my little black box, I can see in the dark.
My little black box tells me just where to go.
 
My little black box takes pictures of dogs.
On my little black box, I can play Angry Birds.
 
My little black box I can add one and one.
My little black box knows all the birthdays.
 
My little black box I can call my old mom.
My little black box keeps in touch with my friends.
 
With my little black box, I don’t need a pen.
My little black box spells everything right.
 
With my little black box, I don’t need a stamp.
My little black box carries all of my books.
 
My little black box plays my favorite songs.
My little black box shows me you tube.
 
On my little black box, I watch tv shows.
My little black box changes the channels.
 
My little black box sends cash for a ride.
My little black box controls my house lights.
 
My little black box shows me all of the news.
My little black box, yeah it knows everything.

My little black box contains the whole world.
My little black box, I freak when it’s lost.

My little black box is my only friend.
My little black box is part of my hand.

Do you love or hate your cell phone?
Perhaps it's a love/hate relationship.
Let me know.

Peace,
Jim

Black Elk

Black Elk
Tower of the Four Winds
James M M Baldwin
 
Tree lined pastures rise and crest.
Long white clouds drift unobstructed by blue-eyed-heavens.
Leaves shed sunlit tears across green grass.
Valleys fall to shaded floors deep below.
 
Well-trodden paths meander.
Tiresome climbs.
Leisurely descents.
Bumble bees chase overcurious onlookers from nectar laden blossoms.
 
Bark, gnarly with age, others tender and smooth.
More leaf shapes than most could ever know.
Some reaching high to drink in light.
Others content in their unassuming stature.
 
Multitudinous birdsongs flood clean air nestled between rolling hills.
Numerous flora aromas combine as one bouquet.
Blue jay wings flit unheard through branches.
Unseen insects orchestrate waving grasslands.
 
Sparrows flutter when the man enters their hidden meadow.
Shade welcomes weary travelers.
Smell of green hangs heavy.
Stop, rest, contemplate.
A train whistle blows hidden in the distance.

Peace and love,
Jim

Russian Bots

One of my blogposts from 2013 has been inundated with Russian bot posts. I'm deleting it and republishing the post here.


This weekend is the official launch of "Spencer Murdoch and the Portals of Erzandor." In James M M Baldwin's first full length novel a devoted husband and father risks his family’s security to prevent a powerful doctor from controlling a mystic portal initiating a global storm threatening humanity. Spencer Murdoch unearths a supernatural portal beneath his home and discovers an ancient being guarding a gateway between heaven and hell. Spencer must find the person predestined to enter the portal before the mysterious doctor can use it for his own power.

You can participate in the book launch by getting your copy at the Amazon, paperback and Kindle edition
