After many years of hiatus, during which I raised my family and had a very fulfilling, totally rewarding teaching career, I’ve taken up the pen again and find that the world is more beautiful, more interesting, more wondrous than ever before. Sometimes painful, sometimes joyous but never dull and with hopefully a lesson here and there worth sharing in a poem.
Photography is a very new interest for me and it’s not my first love but I’m truly loving the learning process and observing the very best of RB to do that. And the art – well – that too is both a rarity and not my first love. My first love remains writing – I’ll leave the real artistry to so many others of you here at Red Bubble who add beauty to the world with your art.
My very first collection of poems is now available from the Blurb bookstore – Songs of the Heart’s Longing

Perhaps all of these memories – / these poetic conversations I have with myself / are simply my way, my heart’s way, / my body’s way – of “lancing” what has festered / so any wounds ca…
Are the rare oases enough to / sustain the desert nomad? / And where is the desert boundary –
Would you make your life over? / Would you undo the done things, / do the undone?
Does memory play us artists’ tricks - / shading angry, once embittered scenes, / dulling grief, erasing anguish, / leaving remembrances more kind, / mind pictures lovelier for muted hue? / Is it pai…
I remember other autumns, / tapestries of trees aflame / in crimson and burnt orange, / pungent fragrances of harvest, / crackling leaves crisp underfoot. I remember other autumns, / galloping acro…
Lonely came today. / The rain dripped lonely / on the sidewalk, splashed / him at the window,
