2/2006: I've got to say, I'm not a poet and I know it! ... I'll try anyway, with the kind encouragement of new friends (thanks very) . - So. Cal girl till 21, salt water in my veins; - Married and have lived many lives overseas: Paris, Moscow, Manama, Canberra, London, Port of Spain (Trinidad) , and Frankfurt... Expect to go 'out' again next summer for a few more years. Travelled many other places. - I am very new to writing anything like poetry, but not to writing itself, something I've always enjoyed (for myself) . The poetry at this site is fantastic, and I am so happy to have been shown the way here. (Thanks, C.A.!) - Be happy, all! LITS for anything else...
Lil' firecracker, July child-to-be
Another sunny redhead, she hoped in vain
No, for you there were other dreams
...
Will you find that which you seek
Within the ruins of fire grown weak?
Ashes blown from hearth to heart
Choke life's breath, deaden its art.
...
For one ruined in love, the old status quo
Offers comfort of a kind tho' cold.
Suffering neglect, your heart is a wreck,
Yet one's vow demands payment of debt.
...
