I began writing poetry January 17, 2008.  Writing is something that “comes” to me.  Whether the words are about inn-keeping, family, tea time, the Lord or relationships, they all have rhythm, rhyme or both. 

My sister said, “Dr. Seuss lives in your head.”  Ah!  It is true that I love his stories for their creative rhythm and rhyme. 

I have published some of the poetry on hand-made note cards.  Others on framed prints.  I sell them at craft shows or in small businesses.  I will periodically post a new one here for you to enjoy.

"Ants in the Kitchen"

  I arrive in the kitchen
At half past six
Little did I know
That something was amiss

An army had moved in
They marched all about
Covering my counter
Going in and out

Of all the days to happen
Of course it would be
When Guests wanted breakfast
“Early” don’t you see

I grabbed up the cleaner
And squirted them all down
Mopping them right up
Wiping all around

The counters now clean
It’s off to the races
I double dare any ants
To now show their faces!

I cook it up quick
The guests now come in
I set it in front of them
With a grin

They never will know
What it took on this day
To give then such
A beautiful array!
