Christopher Vera’s Mystic Nebula

Terrie Leigh Relf, friend and editor, published a pair of poems for her poetry section of the Moonlit Path Halloween 2007 edition.

“The Kelpie” describes the tragic life, death, and new life of a sad girl. “Horsemen” is my Mystic Nebulean take on one of my favorite of Earth’s natural phenomena.

These poems are some of my very oldest. Thanks to Terrie for helping me share them!

You can find both poems here.

Randy Schimka, a good friend and co-worker, sets up a fantastic light display every year around the holidays. His two boys have been diagnosed with autism and he has found this project is a great way to connect with them. This year looks to be the biggest yet!

View his web site here, and be sure to stop by his display in San Diego: http://www.belardolights.com/

Yvonne Legge maintains a fantastic website dedicated to the men and women of the American Armed Forces and inspired me to write a poem for her site. She very kindly agreed to publish it.

You can find it, and her site, here

I’ve published the Shameless Voices Pedagogy here on Mystic Nebula for those that are interested in empowering their creative writing students with the confidence to speak without fear.
