I have been a poet for over forty years. My inspiration for poetry has come from many different poets including Kay Ryan, Louise Gluck, Rita Dove and many more too numerous to mention. Some of my favorite poems are the classic poems by Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson.
I am a poet, author and lyricist. I am also the mother of five grown children.
My inspiration for my poetry comes from everyday life and everyday people. I love to people watch. Many of my emotions are triggered by everyday events and the people surrounding them. I love to smell the roses so to speak, and laughter has become my best medicine.
Meditation is crucial to my existence because it helps me to keep in touch with my soul and who I really am. My poetry expresses my innermost soulfelt emotions.
