A few years ago, I retired from a 34 year career in hospice counseling, at which time I began writing poetry. My poems are influenced by my patients’ journeys, the compelling beauty of nature, and the human condition. I enjoy getting lost in the woods, floral design, music, and jumping in puddles with my grandchildren. Baudelaire tells us to ‘be drunk’ on our passion every day of our lives. I am drunk on poetry and intend never to be sober. I live near the Jersey Shore with my husband and Bernese Mountain Dog, Dottie.

	I loved this one the first time, and chuckled through it again! Your depiction of the dachshund is so good. Makes me want to write a poem about my Dottie, the Bernese Mountain Dog. Thanks for the smiles- the whole world needs more of them. more » 2 hours ago	View

	Your interpretation of my poem took me by surprise, Karl, as I have never studied quantum physics, so was unaware that I had articulated the principle of potential and kinetic energies. I was very excited to learn about it…Yes, the connection made between poetry and science is fascinating! Thank you for sharing your observation with me- and for your 5 star vote. :^} more » 10 hours ago	View
