About This Author
Hi there!
I'm a grandmother, a nursing educator, an avid knitter and an aspiring writer. I created this page for family and friends who expressed interest in reading my writing. It is mostly poetry with a few short stories sprinkled here and there .
The poem on this page is one my Mom favored. The collectible trinket is from a needlework picture of Longfellow's home she completed. Mom loved poetry and was an avid reader. She and my brother, Rasputin   , inspire me still.
I have a published form modification called the Rondel Grand Modified; it is located here:

Happy reading and write on! |

Triple Spin
Spiraling long entwining cables cleave
To lofty white and royal hand-combed yarn;
Spun with a practiced hand yields fabric's weave.

Couplets Run Amok
My lady my love wore pajamas all day
Her lover was glad to tear them away!
Syllables
A sunny day deep in November is rare;
One gunshot splits the air- the turkey- oh dear!
Syllables
I heard a songbird singing high in the barren tree;
Piercing notes melodic sparked sweet memory of thee.

There once was a muse who espoused creativity;
Tho' laughingly inspired words lacking civility.
