TWO WHO BECAME ONE

2/14/2012

Upon the hill beside the road,
Stood the two little trees side by side.

Over the years they grew as one,
Trunks and branches intertwined.

One hundred years and more they stood,
Limbs locked in a lovers embrace.

Look closely if you want to see,
How long these two have grown as one.

They lost a friend a year ago,
He stood upon the hill near them.

One hundred years and more they stood,
The two who were one and their friend.

Age is showing some limbs dying,
Still they hold each other entwined.

Their leaves still shade us in the spring,
In the fall they turn red and gold.

It’s in the winter you will see,
The hundred years and more they stood.

Whether I am reading, or writing I am taken out of myself and will return more enlightened. From the magic of the places I have been, the people I have met, and the story that captured me for a while.

My first book, Wee Three: A Mothers Love In Verse, a children’s poetry book, illustrated by Hazel Mitchell, was a collaborative effort and a labor of love. I took the short, sweet verses my grandmother wrote in the nineteen thirty’s for her children and expanded those and added additional verses of my own.

I have been called a prolific and versatile writer. I currently have two children’s poetry books, Wee Three: A Mother's Love in Verse and Innocence and Wonder, two novella's The Between Times, The Choosing, Keeping the Upper Paw: A Cat's Guide to Training Your Human and am completing the prequel to The Between Times. (Darkness Descends). Her novel Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal, based on the true story of my rescue foal and written from his point of view and is enjoyed by both children and adults alike. Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal, won best Equine Rescue book at the EQUUS Film Festival, for 2015 and 2016 season.

The Divide Series, takes us into a world that could be, it is a dystopian series that starts with book 1 Darkness Descends, and book 2 The Between Times, it tells the story of a bleak world, where society consists of the poor and the rich and the poor live in squalor, with only a prophecy for hope of a better future. It has a touch of paranormal in its pages.

I have written four adult poetry books and a variety of fantasy and paranormal stories. A few of them are stories that my mother wrote over forty years ago and I finished while others are new and vibrant stories.

I learned that one needed to have a plot and conversation to move the story forward from a particularly bad play I wrote at the age of six. It was the worst play ever written or performed. It was so awful my mother stopped the production after about three minutes.

I currently live on a small farm with my husband, three horses, cats and a green cheeked conjure named Jack. They help me remember to view the world through a child's innocence and keep me young and imaginative.
