All Things Atari, Vintage Gaming & More
One of the things I love most about Winter are the dark, gray afternoons that tend to go on forever. I've been cherishing them this year especially. This poem, aptly titled, "Dark Endless Gray Winter Afternoons," appeared in my poetry book for Jan-Mar 2022, 'New Season.' Snuggle up with your java & enjoy! -BB "Dark... Continue Reading →
This past week, I've released three new episodes to my #vintagegaming #youtube channel!

Is falling in love again worth the risk? Is putting your heart on the line worth it when you're in your 40's and have seen and lived every trick in the book? Sometimes, it's like rolling dice, or reaching for fire. This poem was written six years ago on Dec 21, 2015 and was contained in my poetry book, 'Look for the Silver Linings.' Enjoy! -BB
