Oh, Author...Where have you been the last year or so? I missed your short stories.

Hello. I have been occupied with publishing a novel: Lost Pants Mine—Gold, Love, Adventure, which is now on the market and getting solid reviews. This year (2016), for personal reasons, I have explored writing poetry—a completely new way to express myself, particularly on emotional matters originating in the heart. As of this month (December 2016) I have started a new blog. You can take a look by visiting Poems by Steven C Brandt.

Meanwhile, I plan to add some more short stories to this blog site and, most likely, a poem from time to time. So do return for visits to both sites. I love to write and hope that some of my work resonates in you. Your feedback is most welcome.                                                     SCB 

Puzzle (Post-Election)

Puzzle

Will the trunk shift left or right

or the sun one way or another

Or am I the one who must move

to uncover our common mother?

If nothing changes, all stays the same

leaves won’t return and the tree will fry

If gridlock continues, lingers as it has

at least half our orb…in darkness will die.
