My love, my life, my Valentine I can hardly believe that you are mine. Twenty years ago when I first saw you could we have imagined our life come true? Your humor, your jokes, I think I’ve heard them all your joyous personality and smile your gentleness always makes me fall In love again.

Permission to Let Go (a poem)
And then All of a sudden She found herself quite tired So she sat down. Why all the madness? she thought to herself. Do I do so much just to keep busy? Do I do so much so I haven’t time to think? What do I fear if I have time to think? I might…
Winter’s Song
I love springtime and the return of the birds. The warm sun on my face, my hands in the soil. I do love seed packets and promises of gardens galore. I love tree blossoms and flowers and bees and more. I love summer and all the fun to be had. The gardens and watering. Fresh…
December Morning Dawn
The lavender sky spreads and stretches over rolling pastures and forests of trees. Along the railroad tracks the mist lightly rolls as dawn awakes Golden sun rises and the air is ever cool in the December morning breeze Deer move along the tracks with motions swift on crisp winter grass. Here at cozy home the…

Whispers of Autumn
Even without a calendar without a clock on the wall I would know it’s Autumn I can feel that it is Fall. Perhaps the filter of the light smoky golden rosy glow I hear geese coming back the birds surely know. Slight coolness in its changing breath such odd stillness in the…
A New Year
I feel the earth beneath my feet breathing Breathing through cracks in the pavement breaking the asphalt like a too tight corset pulsating life A breathing mother I stand upon her breast amongst the prairie grasses and through her gentle rise and fall I breathe in a new year full of promise and life. Blessings…
After the Rain
An early summer rain fell in nourishing streams all night. Sweet smelling morning, the sunshine struggles to come on bright. Listless sleeping clouds shift and moan in their heavy weight. They’ll be moving out at their slow encompassing rate. Birds are already singing their tunes of glory be, as they flit around and praise summer from tree…
The Great Novelist
My first attempts at writing fiction were as a pre-teen, huddled in my room with a spiral notebook and pen, scribbling away. Two chapters of strained dialogue and always two girls in southern belle dresses and absolutely no plot, I would grow bored and go outside to play. Freshmen year in high school I was…
