The Jolly Muse is a blog to exercise creativity. I’m Kerry, a published author, hoping to encourage and entertain as I share about writing. This first post will begin a series meant to be funny in presentation. The main goal is just to share about writing. After a first raw draft, the editing process can… Continue reading The Jolly Muse
A Kareeree-Beat
Can’t bust a rhyme No matter how I try Focused on the climb 3 miles up- total high What do I find? A rhythm in the breese Guitar riff in the stream Drums the Earth’s heart-beat With the Bass in a sunbeam Leaving me to sing. Life’s syncing frequencies. Thanks for the read K~
25th Anniversary
December 13, 2023 5:30 a.m.: December 14th, 2023 who cares what time it is. It’s my 25th anniversary you aren’t here to share it with. Damnedest stupid thing. Seems like I just got here?

For some reason I only went through one edit, and then I guess I was inspired elsewhere. I never… Continue reading Balance of the Crane
A.I. Part 2

Before I build my soap box or even look at a mega-phone, I need to calm the “bee-buzzing-in-my-bonnet” as… Continue reading A.I. Part 2
