I'll Wait
The new poems I'm writing don't always fit in the old books. These are something new, and so I hope to see what they are all about as we go along. I'm looking forward to these new pieces. I'd like to know what they are going to be about, but for now, I'll wait.

No Turning Back

I think we as poets have all lost a bit of our soul with the passing of our friend @Lisaner and we are just a bit more mortal and reflective, may we always hold the poet's word as a living thing. Love, peace, and freedom, Olan L. Smi...

The Wizard!
The Wizard! This collection from Olan L. Smith is a dialogue series that asks questions and ponders evidence about existence. We will take a look behind the curtain to see what the Wizard is up to and what tricks he (she) has up his (her) sleeve, be warned that in so doing it might spoil the illusion we call life.

Borealis Love
Love - what does that word mean, what does it comprise? Do we always recognise it when faced with it? Do we value it when we ought to do so? Do we squander it when it is too easily given? Do we ever understand until it has left us and we are left to question - why? Why? Why? Does it ever leave us entirely - I don't be...
