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
If you’d rather reach me off bubble, you can at liannels@rochester.rr.com

Please read the description before the poem. Folks, this is meant to be bad poetry! Hearts can do somersaults / then land with a thud – / skip a beat, double a beat, / race, run, pump, slow to…
Subtle, silver moonlight is all I need / to seek, to meet your ocean eyes – / restless and dark like the grey-green sea, / shadowed greys that express the depth / of your longing, the rolling ach…
My lilac bush has passed her prime, / she’s had her glory years / of luscious lavender sprays / and heady scented blooms. / Each new year sees her weaker, / less prolific in her flowering / because…
Sing a new chorus – / perhaps a solo piece this time - / if the first verse of life falls flat / or the harmony’s discordant. / Isn’t it grand that no matter / what the melody or lyric / of th…
A hemorrhage of hasty words / gushes from my mouth / bleeding the life force of love / away without thought, / a geyser of emotional rant / opening lesions on / too thin skin, / the scalding steam of …
Perhaps I saw you from the / wrong end of the telescope, / magnified / my need out of proportion / to your worth. / Turn the telescope around / would you seem so damned special? / Seen through the sm…
