Summer

Posted by M Kari Barr on Thursday, July 10, 2014, In : Stories 
I thought summer would never arrive! It is always so very late up here in Eastern Washington. We have thoughts and plans of moving south one day...but it won't be anytime soon. 

Here is a sweet tale I wrote about a lovely summery day as experienced by a mom and her two kids.



Summer Pleasures

The day was…just like any other day in summer. One could expect a day like this described in poetry and novels, yes, even fairy tales. Mother and Arilyn had taken a holiday from chores and everyday drudger...

There Be Dragons

Posted by M Kari Barr on Tuesday, April 8, 2014,
The title was a movie...Here be Dragons a common phrase on maps...real and fictional.
I have always assumed dinosaurs were dragons...and never accepted the "fact" that all dinosaurs died out before man came on the scene. 

Some things really do not need science to confirm...and a belief in dragons is one of them. I of course do not really think they were magical in any way, nor that they breathed fire. BUT like some poisonous frogs and things like the gila monster it is very possible that they w...

Musical Things

Dare I truly share my musical tastes?

I found a cool music video which I posted above. I find the creativity of mankind truly amazing. But in all ages we can find music to enjoy. I am not one to only like one form of music...I am willing to give anything a listen. I do prefer that I can understand what is being said...so screamo is not something I turn to...and yet I can give it a fair shot...and mostly enjoy seeing the performance...same with jazz, n...

Fairy Dancers

Posted by M Kari Barr on Monday, March 24, 2014, In : Poetry 


I.

 

Little ballerina

swiftly glide this way

thy dance it does beguile me
I love to see you sway

 

II.

 

Skydancer flitting softly

gentle hum ensues

receive the nectar of my bounty

so willingly imbued

 

III.

 

So dance for me, my darling

never leave my sight

sweet hummingbird of glory

sweet fairy of delight

Satisfaction

Posted by M Kari Barr on Friday, March 21, 2014, In : Stories 


The Troll king slurped, unconcerned with his appearance. Slobbering is a natural state for Trolls, indeed a mere thought can trigger the juices flowing. Scent causes great ribbons to stream. Viscous drooling is even seen as a turn on to not a few Trolls. The natural light gleaming hot from the summer sun above cast it’s beam brightly on King Orrik, sitting upon his throne, allowing any who chanced to look, a superlative view of his highly praised visage.

Green skin, very much like a chameleo...

How Dragons Came to Be

Posted by M Kari Barr on Friday, March 21, 2014, In : Stories 


It was in The First Garden, when he made the decision. Ebere, an Elf, having been the first among many made the choice. Man and woman were given the garden as their responsibility. The Fair Ones were simple creations; meant to beautify and give joy. 


Oh, we were given commandments; similar to those given to mankind. 

We were told to be fruitful and multiply, as all living things were. We were told that cruelty and murder were wrong, yes, even worthy of punishment. We remain in a near state of i...

Woe is Me...

I Must Laugh!!!

So many of my past blogs and journal entries look like the previous ones...and surely much like this one I now write. For someone who loves to write...journaling has always been such a chore...it means I must leave the make-believe world I live in...in order to tell about the real , and boring world that I live in.

But tonight I attended a writers group at the local Independent Bookstore Aunties in Spokane, WA. They had a panel of authors there discussing e-books vs. print as we...

End of 2010

Posted by M Kari Barr on Friday, December 31, 2010, In : My Anyday Ramblings 
So I am not the best at blogging. Of course it would be different had I an avid audience. For now we shall treat it as journaling. 2010...hmmm. It was a good enough year. Plenty of hardships and trials. But I don't dwell on those. I tend to let life slide past. I should journal more often and then I would know what had happened in my life. I was released from my obligations to serve the Young Woman organisation at church. That was a trial I do love that assignment. Later I was asked to be a S...

Sunday Night Thoughts

Posted by M Kari Barr on Monday, November 29, 2010, In : My Anyday Ramblings 
So this is not my first attempt at blogging, nor my first attempt at running a web page. But I am hoping it will be a better tended attempt! Currently my Novel is being looked at by a small publishing house. I wait anxiously (when I remember that it's out there) to hear what they think. Having recently done a sixth review I found several SPaG errors (Spelling Punctuation and Grammar) so I am not feeling very confidant. But I am still very happy with the story and allow it to occupy my thought...
