Poetry Prose and Other Words
by Ken Ingham
Most of the thoughts on this site were conceived in the woods,
or at least out of doors, scribbled into a little brown journal that I carry almost everywhere I go. I hunt and gather, then edit and revise, and sometimes even publish.
Why do I write?
Writing helps me sort my thoughts, put them in a more coherent form than ever occurs in conversation.
To friends I say read this and get to know me. Others I invite to browse around and see if there's something of meaning for you. If you enjoy yourself, I hope you will return.

As an avid swamp watcher I often ponder the irony
of saturating my skin and clothes with a chemical that
renders me repellent, if not toxic, to the food sources
of the very critters that I hope to see close up . . . . )

Reflections on the unnatural history of the ICC
(about a controversial highway near Washington D. C. that would devastate
stream valleys, forests and wetlands and accomplish little; a giant
step for mankind - backwards)
