I've loved poetry my entire life beginning with poems my parents read to my brother and me from the Jr. Classics.
My husband and I travel all over this beautiful country and I enjoy writing poems about my travels. We have twenty acres in Montana with such beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I enjoy taking pictures with my digital camera.
I have written hundreds of poems for John McCornack's web pages. John sends me a page with the wonderful pictures he takes and I write a poem that will snuggle into the page. What a challenge that is for me!
My poems have been published in True Love and True Romance magazines as well as several anthologies. Recently my poem Arches National Park (posted here on Poem Hunter) was published in a text book for children ages 15-16. The company is Pearson Learning and based in Singapore. My Poem "My Rainbow Garden" was published in a pupil book 4 for Nelson English from Oxford University Press.
I love to write about the simple life and how faith and hope is always there and that tomorrow is a fresh new beginning.
The world is wide with wonder
For everything is new
A child’s mind is like a sponge
Or like a flower sipping morning dew
...
Three ducks pecked around
In a garden one warm day
They wore beautiful coats
Of white feathers to display
...
Sometimes I kind of feel sad and bored
So I decide to have a little chat with the Lord
I tell Him just what has been bothering me
I know He understands and He will see
...
He works so hard every day
Doing pretty much what he’s told
The days slowly turn into years
As his life carefully unfolds
...
The most important thing to me
When spring is on the rise
Are all the lovely colors
Of flowers before my eyes.
