Hello folks. I am not sure if I mentioned this before as it all came about suddenly at the end of April when I was done with the poem a day challenge, but I have a daily blog now filled with all sorts of good stuff. The Forked Road This website started as a … Continue reading
New Adventures in Writing
April has been poetry month and I have taken that into full embrace. I have been participating in writing prompts daily and will have a forthcoming chapbook of work that I will publish as an Issuu from that. It has been a catharsis as I am working through the grief of my mother’s death. … Continue reading
Delineated Visions: Volume One
For several years I have been working on amassing poems written about paintings. This is not a new business, I know, but I wanted to approach it in a different way. In these poems I take on the point of view of either the subject or the painter. I put myself in the painting or … Continue reading

I started to think about Valentine’s Day and there are always those single, thwarted women who … Continue reading

“….Harper Valley PTA….”
Ok…so maybe not THE Harper Valley PTA, but I did find myself at my daughter’s middle school PTA meeting last night. For years I had avoided “joining” the PTA thinking I would turn into a Stepford Wive or something. I volunteered at the school, but I could never bring myself to pay dues and go … Continue reading
