I’m a 63 year old mother of two, grandmother of 8 and after years of hiatus, 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

For readers in the US only who are interested in purchasing a copy, please contact me by bubble mail. If you order it directly from me I can absorb the excessive shipping charges imposed on single copy orders.

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

Thank you Red Bubble for opening a new world of artistry to me and for bringing so many talented new friends into my life. What joy in the sharing!

Nymph of a March Morning

Barefoot with need, I ford some glacial stream / in this gray shale hour before the dawn, / frigid feathers of silvery green moss / weaving strong, hungry nets around my feet / while mists of mornin…

Plumb the Depths

Could I but plumb the depths of me / who would I find there deep within? / There’s more to me than what I’ve shown and / some urgent, restless need to discover it, / not only in my sorrows but als…

Awakening Rip Van Winkle

One swig of Rip Van Winkle’s draught, / from this tankard brimmed with bitter brew / I crave, that I might sleep away the years, / awaken after all the niggling, numbing fears / from my persistent,…

What of Joy?

What of joy? Long past, /      the moments few, so incomparably sublime, /      rare explosions of rapturous emotion /      f…

Tilting at Windmills

I’ve tilted at windmills long enough - / poor sad and silly Don Quixote, / all my armor just a laughingstock, / dented, bent, disjointed now, / riding a plodding mule instead of a mustang, / self-st…

Rain Dance

Arms spread wide, my face uplifted, / no timid shrinking from impending storm, / no fearful crouch nor covered ears / against a gathering ominous tempest, / I dare the heavens to strike me down / in r…
