Poetic Images: Beauty

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 8:05 am on Jul 31, 2008

Image by Capture Queen Beauty is not but skin deep, what you have is what you keep. Cosmetics and surgery change the dermis, not inner grace. We are born who we are and beauty is within. It may not be the best poem, especially in comparison to such a great image, but the meaning is [...]


Top 10 Summer Poems

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 8:12 am on Jul 29, 2008

As we are just beginning the middle of summer I thought it would be appropriate to list my top 10 favorite summer poems.

Another big time movie is coming out this weekend. With The Mummy and The Mummy Returns previous success, this week should be another big one. Swing Vote, well I like Kevin Costner and I know he is trying to make a comeback, but this movie just looks meh. It might make a bit of cash [...]

Salute to StumbleUpon – Poem

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 11:41 pm on Jul 20, 2008

I’ve been an avid user of StumbleUpon for about 2 1/2 years now. Their toolbar is the very first I install on any new computer and the only one I recommend–Yahoo? Google? Bleh, they have nothing on SU. StumbleUpon is a great time killer and way of finding new content. Anyway, here is my salute [...]

After the huge opening of The Dark Knight, two new films are set to take center stage and both hold a very different tone than Batman. Step Brothers Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star in a film about two middle-aged men who still live with one of their parents. After the two’s parents are [...]


The Kansas City Royals – Poem

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 10:48 pm on Jul 16, 2008

My favorite baseball team and sports team all around is the Kansas City Royals. They have been through many tough years of late, with only one winning season since 1994. I was too young when the Royals won the World Series in 1985, so most of my memories are full of losing. But, I still [...]

Poetry Enjoyment Levels

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 3:23 am on

Sometimes poetry just doesn’t go well with all types of emotions. For example, when I am happy I don’t care to read anything depressing. Why would I? I am happy, I don’t want to be sad. The same goes for other feelings as well. Here is a graph of my poetry enjoyment level per emotion: [...]
