: About Me

As long as I can remember, my passion's been writing and reading. Curious by nature; I'm always looking for new challenges.

I love life and never take it for granted. I have a sense of humor, my cup is always full and my greatest accomplishment is my family. I count my blessings everyday for my lively brood of four children and six grandchildren who fill my life with color and wonder.

Helium has not only given me the opportunity to voice my opinions and experiences;  it has connected me to the world and opportunities I never dreamed possible. Thanks to Helium I was honored to win the Pulitzer Center Citizen Journalist Award; been published in  Phati'tude Literary Magazine and Weeder's Digest and also sold in marketplace and open stock. I've made friends around the world who share the same passion for writing and interests as I have.

I welcome visitors to my zones on Betaville and look forward to any comments you might have.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Time for a change

Did you hear the whisper of the wind that times are changing? Did you see the water’s edge? The times are changing Did you feel the heat of the sun, the chill of the wind, floods rising across the land? Times are changing. Dead fish wash ashore; Black shores, slick, sick with death Shrimpers crying, hungry mouths Unfed Times are changing Is it too late? Our fate is sealed Death Destruction Hunger Despair Sorrow Regret; Time is here
