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!

Frayed Feisty Threads - Book IV

Restrictions: None
deep water fantasy
Your emails bring smiles and tug at heartstrings
Your cheery words bring out the best in me,
You make me want at once to dance and sing!
Each song I hear as though for the first time
Thoughts of you deeply touch this heart of mine.

I fantasize an entire future for us
Then erase it, and fantasize again.
I visualize us connecting, meeting
Afraid of what I’ll glimpse on your face -
You try to cover your feelings – once again I erase.

If we kiss will it be the magical kind
That stays with you forever – it was once.
You once occupied my heart, now you occupy my mind.
You invade my dreams and I think that you
Are here – I am such a lover’s fool!

I swim in weedy vulnerable waters, not the deep or cold
Tossed happily by currents; must be a sight to behold!
Dodging between the weeds trying to avoid
Your baited hook but growing ever hungry
With each peek and poke into my nook.

So if you decide to fish and when you catch - (you will)
In what waters do I swim to stay alive until
You decide to keep or release your limit?
And of the fish you choose to keep, I wonder
If one might have my heart in it?
