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.
Tercet or triplet: Three lines with rhyme scheme of aaa or aba; rhyme-linked triplets are also called terza rima, according to Mayes, pg. 344. Mayes, Frances. 1994. "Traditional and Open Forms."

Couplets Run Amok
My lady my love wore pajamas all day
Her lover was glad to tear them away!

A sunny day deep in November is rare;
One gunshot splits the air- the turkey- oh dear!

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.
, inspire me still.
