I have lived in many places throughout the USA. Traveled to Mexico and Canada. Raised in a big family that moved a lot. Have had many different experiences with people, places and things since I am in middle-age now. Graduated from High School and Business College. Took some College Courses. Worked at various minimum wage jobs. Became a stay-at-home mom. Started writing when I was a little kid in diaries. Had my first article published in a local magazine in January 2006 and I jumped up and down when it happened - smile. Thanks for visiting my poem site.
When I was a girl
I told my friends
My mom is so mean
I wish she would stop telling me
...
When the pain ended and the last tears fell,
And I got out of my living and bitter hell,
I found a strength as strong as steel,
This strength I found is surely real.

Honey bear jar lid taken off
Poured carefully over the carpet
With pink and white animal cookies
Floating in it
...
I’m still here somewhere
Between the dishes and laundry
Breakfast, lunch and dinner
I’m still here.
