  • Mama Dear - A Different Sort of Love Story (Part 2: Jeff's Story)

    Manda’s right about one thing. None of us get exactly what’s the reason Ma’s so sick. But there sure is something sick about her, even if I don’t know the name of what she’s got. Dad talks about chemicals in Ma’s brain. How she doesn’t have enough chemicals in her brain. Maybe that’s why she rocks so...

  • Mama Dear - A Different Sort of Love Story (Part 1: Manda's Story)

    My mama. She sits on her bed with her legs crossed, hugging herself hard, rocking back and forth, never stopping, never hardly talking. Sometimes she slows her rocking and glances at Dad’s face when he talks. I don’t know if that’s really listening or not. I think she doesn’t know how to listen much...

  • Still awake at 3:40 a.m. and Still Deep in Conversation (Part 2)

    This is part 2. Part 1 is just before this. Read that one first. I still can't believe you want to write a book. An old poetry book that sits on a dusty shelf somewhere. Why would you want to spend all that time writing a book of poems no one will read? But this is a DIFFERENT sort of poetry book...

  • I'm Still Pondering... Well, Maybe Not!

    To write or not to write? What a ridiculous question! Of course the answer is to write. In my last post I was deliberating on whether i should tackle a new project - a book. I haven't written a book for a long time, and even then, i didn't write all of it. But I was smart enough after 200+ pages...

  • Daily Double; and Should I Write A Book?

    Not only was my blog from yesterday in Today's Brew in The Artella Muse Paper today, but some of my autumn haiku was also published in the Poems and Garden section. Wow! Does this mean I'm a "published" poet now? I'm trying to make a decision these days - rather a life changing...

  • Re: Making the Leap

    Hugs and hurrah's to you! How exciting, courageous (and a little bit scary) that must be! Just remember to breathe, think and do--someone told me that in the past, and I remember that line often. Tell us about your dream shoppe, your old schedule and your new schedule. Or I should have said: Tell...
