About Me

Name:
Location: Midwest, United States

I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

A FICKLE WINTER

A FICKLE WINTER

Green, green!
Yellow, yellow!

Yellow-green of Spring

Weeping willows splashed against winter’s white, white snow.

Blue, blue sky!
Brown, brown fence!
How warmly she teases us at first –

Knowing full well February will bring her curse!
