Poetess, Writer, Artist, Photographer, Wife.

I’ve been taking photographs, drawing, writing, assessing reality, and observing the world since childhood.

I don’t believe art can be taught. The basics, mayhaps, but I refuse to allow “teachers” to tell me what colors, angles, styles, etcétera I must use when all they know are their personal opinions about what art should be. I will not sacrifice my soul for the sake of a grade and I did occasionally suffer criticism or a lower grade for that belief.

In reference to my writing, I’m obsessed with language and proper grammatical structure, but I do make mistakes like anyone else and will not be upset with anyone who offers suggestions. I use too many adjectives and tend to ramble, which you’ll notice if you’re still reading this. Gawd, I hope you’re not wasting time reading this. I prefer poetry to prose and reject applying specific styles or structure to it. When asked my poetry genre, I may say it’s either “random,” “poetic,” “free” or “open,” depending upon the first adjective that spirals into the staircase of my mind. Also, I prefer written to spoken, because I hate the sound of my voice and love being able to re-edit before anyone sees my words. I also hate phones, as if that mattered.

Writing

Grandma Jeannette

Macaroni wrought with creamy cheese; / hot dogs-extra ketchup, please! / Stitching seams for trendy dreams / between phone calls and “Grandma!” screams. / Dolly skirt, square, bundt, weddi…

What shall be, shall be

One cannot force the seas to furl, / urge gentle breezes to a whirl, / beg a bullet’s path to curl, / tell silken gowns how much to twirl, Nor beckon lad to love a girl, / make a beast forsak…

Rhymingly, Haunts the Past

The corners of my face do fingertips peel / because scars of the past do not always heal. / Memories of olde, ne’er forgotten reel / as debates of guilt-innocence make appeal. / Incidents of pas…

Bravest with His Westbound Compass

Forever westbound be his compass, / its curves like metal strings, / yearning for his coast / with record deals like freedom’s wings. / His veins brim with Del Taco sauce, / hands stained silver…

Challenging Despair

Merciless devastation / wholly consuming, / its stench tainted / by soul’s corruption, / marred beneath / hatred’s distorted mask; / so faithless / from constant states / betwixt agony, be…

Courtship

Meet me by the fountain / With its basin of clear water / Silent as in eternal slumber. / Wait for thee I shall / Until sunset is on the breeze— / Look for me among the hidden ones, / Kindred spirit…
