Day and Night
Day and Night Dixon Stuelke © 2024 Industrial Art, Exhibit Two Setting out to make a bland, generic, kitschy cactus desert scene I wound up with this. Had a lot of fun putting it together though. The background sand and sky are spray paint. The Sun, the rays, and puddles of sunshine are of […]

That’s my Way Dixon Stuelke © 2024 Six, Final Searching back through wiser eyes, I realize what they really saw. I really should have tried putting myself in their head, not expected them to already be in mine. Or at least, tried keeping it dignified. That quirk was far from trivial; what actually […]

Unentitled, Installment Five Wouldn’t it be nice, imagine, if Leadership were guided by respect and trust, rather than ignorance and contempt, of Intelligentsia’s insight and perception? “Moré” © 8 lines Why is the Limerick so effective?

That’s my Way 03
I won’t say his name; I feel I should protect his identity. He never asked me to, though. For some reason, I like to keep quiet when someone might be embarrassed or something, like I’m holding a secret — even when they don’t ask, I don’t tell. It’s just my way.

Unentitled 03
Unentitled, Installment Three Went to other poet things whenever I could, but never quite mixed in; other poets enjoyed a much genteeler lifestyle than mine — rough, often ungroomed; different wavelengths, different tastes, same planet, different worlds. And through a great comedy of misunderstandings it got stuck in my head that most other poets wished, […]
