Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear, #1

Quote: Knowledge

Just because I know something doesn't mean that it's true. Especially if I've known it a long time. -- Doug Smith

Song: Scary Halloween

i went shopping for a pumpkin ran into a Christmas tree instead of seeing orange and black i saw red and green scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween i went looking for Frankenstein and monsters to fill me with fear but instead i found Santa Claus and his flying reindeer scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween tried to find my favorites at the grocery store but they're hard to find so tucked away things aren't where they usually live everything is there to give attention to the holiday display scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween i don't like to complain too much but why are we in such a holiday rush? with so many days between now and then but here we are counting down the days again scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween -------------------------

poem: that dream

it's a foolish wish to say may all your dreams come true                 what about the bridges disappearing in                  perspective?      what about the endless chases? the public nakedness? the lack of words? the demons hiding insecurities in playful sacks of sorrow? let me pick my dream to live that sweet happy ending dream of us together hand in hand and always smiling let me pick that time you looked at me from across the room with a knowing smile that spoke more love than you could say, or contain (or, sadly, sustain) but leave that part out (the sadness in your smile of unbeatable fate) and let me live that dream of                               you smiling                               at me and                               happy.

your island

there is an island for you more than any dream toes in the clean warm white sand turquoise water rushing in gently singing softly your name there is an island for you satisfying and free cabana boy bringing drinks olga massaging your neck whenever you call there is an island for you apart and above the fray of everyday laughter touching souls hearts sparking love with every moment accepting, friendly, relaxed let me be your island your terms your time your touch and i will hold your hand watch the waves, and smile right there beside you sharing our very best adventures ever. -- douglas brent smith

Collage: Hold Two Choices

Collage: A Penny for Your Cactus

Collage #1: A Penny For Your Cactus This is either the first, or perhaps second collage I ever created. I think it was made in 1968 (yeah, I'm that old...) I'm happy that it's survived many moves, a house fire, epic fail relationships, and multiple careers. This is one of those I hope to never be parted from. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ you may use this image for non-commercial purposes. please cite it as follows: collage: a penny for your cactus (c) 2016 douglas brent smith

Collage: Alphabet Soup

Alphabet Soup This is both a collage and a creative writing prompt. For a time, I experimented with creating different versions of a collage using a copy machine to duplicate the base, and then making changes in it. Sort of like a very slow motion movie. Or perhaps an indulgence. It's fun. Enjoy. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ you may use this image for non-commercial purposes. please cite it as follows: collage: Alphabet Soup (c) 2016 douglas brent smith

it's my friday

it's my friday is a play by douglas brent smith.  this is part of a series of plays i'm writing with the theme of dreams and dreaming. please feel free to use this play as audition material or performance. small theaters are invited to produce this with my blessing and permission. i would like to be acknowledged as the playwright, of course. and if you charge admission, it would be sporting of you to share in the revenue, wouldn't it? Here's a pdf copy if you'd rather work with that: It's My Friday ------------------------------------------------------------- (Lights come up on the deli counter of a natural grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. Two deli clerks staff the line – Jodie and Dan. There are two more people in the kitchen upstage – Jesus and Juanita. The supervisor, Angela, is off stage. Two customers wait for service.) Jodie (to Dan) I thought you were going to be off today. Dan I was, but Alex called off sick. Jodie W
