A pragmatic person, I believe in finding practical solutions for problems, communicating honestly, and wearing comfortable shoes. I do some of my best thinking while walking my dog.

My passion for words has made me an avid reader my entire life. Writing helps me figure things out and make sense of what I have read. The writing process energizes me, and I enjoy it. Time seems to melt away when I am working on a piece.

I earn my living as a special education teacher, and have done so for more than 30 years. My students have taught me quite a bit about life, as have my experiences as a mother of three widely spaced children.

I love getting feedback from other writers. Feel free to let me know what you think about anything I have written.

My passion is ...

words

I know too much about ...

too many little things

My best moment ...

is yet to come

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Swimsuit-shopping humor

1 of 4

As summer approaches, the weather gets hot,
and women face something that we'd rather not.
Yes...wearing a swimsuit, because as we know,
the flesh we've been hiding will all have to show.

I do some weeping, and gnashing my teeth,
but it does not provide very much relief,
So I head to the mall to begin my quest
for that one perfect suit that will make me look best.

As I search through the racks, I mutter and sigh,
"How can swimsuits so tiny have prices so high?"
A bikini won't do, I am too old for that.
Ah, here is a one piece, this might hide my fat.

Harsh, glaring lights...
