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:

Drop me a note by clicking on the "Contact Me" link above and let me know you stopped to visit.


Happy reading and write on!

Mountain Treasure 12/22/2015
A single star rose in the sky
Above the mountain peak;
We marveled at the trees so high,
As onward we did seek.

A treasured moment in the clouds,
We strove to reach the sky;
Leaving far behind rowdy crowds,
A mountainside good-bye.

Fir trees draped with wet fallen snow,
Green branches tipped in white;
Gracefully bow in winter’s glow,
Drop soft in faded light.

Rays of cloud bands obscure the star
Where daylight swiftly fades;
Over the mountain’s peak afar,
White clouds design brocades.

Purple paints tonight’s color drop
Against clouds' lining high;
While we descend, the mountain stops,
Misted rays bid good-bye.

Line Count: 20
Common measure quatrain, more specifically hymnal meter with abab, cdcd, etc. rhyme scheme
