Writing poems has been a part of my life ever since I could write. I cherish this creative process because it allows me to savor otherwise forgotten wisps of my life and memorialize them into something more enduring than me. I also hope these tendrils somehow weave together to form a window for my progeny, to help them see the magnificence and wonder that pervades my small and ordinary life with Keith. And if I am very lucky, perhaps it will help them notice the magnificence and wonder that pervades their own.

My desire is to select ten poems each month for inclusion in this archive — poems that reflect my recent joys, worries, and experiences. I plan to nurture this practice until either I can’t or something better presents itself. In the meantime, I am delighted you have an interest in these poems and heartily encourage you to start writing your own. Thank you for visiting.
