This is the ‘Creative Room’ in the Dawghouse, “the quiet space for the written word. What began as Peaceful Insanity has evolved into a page where poetry and prose are neatly indexed. For the curiosity seekers and those in search of altered solutions, this is the collection. No noise, no distractions, just the thread of the story.”

“The foundation of everything starts here. Weaving the thoughts of an altered mind into poetry is where the ink meets the soul, where words flow from the heart and mind. With two collections currently indexed, ‘Ink Stained Love’ and ‘Silent Screams,’ I’ve chosen to house my work on the shelves of indie-spirited platforms. I believe in the independent voice and the shops that protect it. While these titles can be found in the corridors of the big-box retailers, I prefer to place them directly in the hands of those who value the independent craft.”

“Every poem has its own internal beat. I feel the raw rhythm hidden within the verses and translate it into melody, letting the soul of my poetry dictate the pulse of the song. By weaving my written words with my recorded DNA voice, I thread the gap between poem and heartbeat, adding the choruses and bridges that complete the weave. These works begin as ink and end as an atmosphere—mastered with love at Bandlab to ensure the feelings remain pure.”

“Once the sound is satisfactory, the concept is finalized through Canva Pro and OpenArt Essential to bring the vision together. This is the final stage of the weave, where my words and mind generate the visual threads. By blending artistic design with cinematic AI, I create a visual world that mirrors the depth of my poetry, completing the tapestry of Peaceful Threads. Here, the story is no longer just read; it is an ‘Altered Vision Experience’ presented to you from the mind behind the work.”

Peaceful Threads is an independent creative venture. To maintain the highest quality for my readers and viewers, I proudly partner with the following platforms:

• Publishing & Distribution: Books are printed and distributed globally through IngramSpark, ensuring professional quality for every curious mind.
• The Sound: All original music and the “DNA voice” featured in the Altered Vision Experiences are developed using Suno Pro and mastered using Bandlab.
• Visual Artistry: Cinematic storytelling and immersive visuals are brought to life using my words to prompt images and video through Canva Pro and OpenArt Essential.
• The Gallery: You can experience the full collection of music videos and cinematic poetry by subscribing to the http://www.youtube.com/@AnAlteredVisionsExperience

Words are written in solitude, but they come alive in the hands of those who read them. Here are a few reflections from readers who have journeyed into the foundation of Peaceful Threads.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very touching book

I love the cover of this book. I am a follower of Ernest’s blog, and so I knew I would buy the book once out.
With various poems inside that are from the heart. Touching, showing vulnerability, and at times painfully raw, you can feel it touch your heart. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2025

I found this heart-warming email from Lauren Scott this morning when I opened my email and couldn’t wait to share it here. Continue reading

@Madam at WordPress.com Review: 5 stars ★★★★ The poetry comes in honesty from an earnest heart, wide open. Off the bat, I know I am getting into a mind, heart, and soul created with purpose and that believes there is a lasting reward in life. I can sense diligence in this writer with a passion and zeal for writing, shining words onto the reader.

Dawn Pisturino’s Blog Ernie Federspiel is a down-to-earth, big-hearted guy who began writing poetry thirty years ago. He writes from the heart about the things and people he cares about. His sense of humor and keen insight into the human condition permeate his poems. If you’re looking for honest and straightforward poetry, Ernie would love it if you would check out his debut poetry collection. My favorite poem is “Wings of Angels II.”

Laura @ Black Moon Lilith, I truly feel there is something for everyone in Ernie’s book, and the very human connection you feel to his writing is so profoundly felt. Read the entire review here
