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! |
Finding Home I want to go home yesterday
Where is this home you softly say
There was my home, now blown away
A home, a home, weeping, I pray.
Without family, without home
I wrestle with thoughts all alone
Nary do I desire to roam
Without a dome, without a dome.
A house, no a home, time to spend
With people who will care, befriend;
With family to make amends,
Until the end, until the end.
Form ▶︎The monotetra is a poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Here are the basic rules:
• Comprised of quatrains (four-line stanzas) in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of 8 syllables per line
• Each quatrain consists of mono-rhymed lines (so each line in the first stanza has the same type of rhyme, as does each line in the second stanza, etc.)
• The final line of each stanza repeats the same four syllables
• This poem can be as short as one quatrain and as long as a poet wishes |
