Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast. / Epictetus (55 AD – 135 AD)
I did not know that I would call you Munchie… / Peanut Butter / Pumpkin Eater / Puff-a-lump / Or that I would dance with you, everyday / Sm…
Babies grow so very quickly. My son is no exception! It seems that he was just being handed to me like a little baby burrito, all red and squinty! Now I am planning his first birthday party…albeit 3 months in advance…but still!! This poem is for him of course. Though he grows fast, I have no regrets, because I truly savor our time together and that’s all you can do!
Summertime, and we’re all in the yard… / With fresh mowed grass and soda… / Eyes closed and smiling / In chlorine and sunshine…
An autobiographical poem I wrote a few years ago… and figured I would share it here. There is a matching image in my gallery to this also, called 1979 if you wish to check it out.
I wrote this about a dream I had. I’ve liked a guy for years,and he never paid any attention to me, but he told me he loved me(ONLY IN MY…

A bittersweet mini-tale to be told without taking a breath or gathering one’s composure..
There nothing in the air in October to slow down the pain that leaks from one person and into another. It transmutes like lightning. Flas…
My Father had and still has a profound influence on me. His story begins here And it continues here…made ALL THE MORE poignant for me when gifted photographer Mel Brackstone commented that she may have been channeling me while working on this photo, titled Melt Down and after looking at it I’ve gotta agree. If you read the entire story, of me and Dad, to the end…you may well agree too.
Your sweetness I sense it, your kiss hesitant leaves me defenseless / My strength now weakness as I’m left helpless, knowing you meant it,...
There are dangers / Behind the sweetest things. / Like cupcakes for example. / They taste really good, / They look really good, / But not on y…
Again, thought of a line, and wrote around it.
Just leave this world, / And don’t come back…
i remember the days / when beauty / came easy
Poem and photo inspired by Reverie, Claude Debussy…
memories and experience… / the bittersweet path of a lifelong journey / forging who you are now / into who you will be the challenge of…
Who we are now is the result of all our past experiences, good or bad. It is how we choose to go from here that matters. It is so easy to get stuck in the loop of would’ve, should’ve, could’ve ...which steals the joy of what could still be…if we can only just change our focus. *I edited this piece to add the fourth stanza that had been bothering me
bittersweet melody… / that plays along… / Has hit such highs … / Having hit such lows…
Holding Your Heart….
I stand ankle deep in crunchy colors of orange, red, brown and yellow. I wait for sun to kiss my face, but instead a cool wind slaps me …
I love to kiss autumn hello / but I hate letting summer go. / / The mums are happy! /
bittersweet recollection / heart string clippings line the floor
even when we cast emotional ghosts back into the / dark shadows where they dwell the fiends return and sling us back to hell
