Hi Readers,
Thanks so much for dropping in. I hope you settle in and stay a little while, maybe find a poem or two you like on the Poems page, and let me know your thoughts on the Contact page. Thought I’d add a little more than what appears in my professional bio. I began writing poetry after I retired. Just like that. It surprised me as did the roads it began taking me on. It also made me realize we can follow dreams at any age, and I would love for seniors to believe that passion is ageless. When not writing (which I do every day), I preserve wildflowers in three-dimensional form; dry organic herbs; and interact (from their preferred distance) with a family of wild ravens. My favorite thing is spending time with family, my second is writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
