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!


Word Flight


My words erase and scrape,
Visions of insight.
Let all words take flight;
Scatter aloft, light.

I paint a word landscape,
Visions of insight.
Let all words take flight
In colors tonight.

Letters fall and escape
Visions of insight.
Let all words take flight;
Leave my blank page white.

Magic muse sculpts to shape
Visions of insight.
Let all words take flight;
Dance high, muse delight.
