I am interested in humanity, community, my family.
I am an Accountant by day, poet always.
I enjoy most things, I am content and happy with my life. And I am always reaching towards the next goal. I am self-motivated, independent and brave.
My passion is ...
Poetry and Bob Seger
I know too much about ...
Nothing-Since I am not dead, there is always more to learn
My parents always told me ...
Dream Big
My childhood ambition ...
To be a writer and a tap dancer
My favorite memory ...
Laying on my front lawn watching the sputniks
Why I write ...
Because I have something to say
What I am reading/watching/listening to ...
The Partner-Grisom/The Reaping-good movie good ending!
My first job ...
Programming Unit Record machines
My best moment ...
Reading with my daughter, dancing with friends, looking forward
My inspiration ...
My Dad
He stared at me with dread,
Toddling further from my grasp.
Eyebrows red,
High-pitched whine
Fighting sleep and naptime.
I laid a blanket on the floor
Fluffed a pillow
And sat,
Wisely watching the dancing fairies.
His curious face peeked into the room.
I smiled.
Cautiously, he sat,
Eyes heavy and defiant.
As he stared at the fairies
His head tucked into my lap,
And his eyelids fell shut.
I sat, marveling at his lovely face
So peaceful, and his baby snores,
So smooth.
Then switched my lap for the pillow,
Turned the fairies down,
And left the room.
