Poor Purple Pansy - Flash 55 Friday, 5-28-10

Once a pretty purple pansy,

Now you look forlorn,

Some creepy crawly critters,

Have made your petals shorn.

You’ve delighted many,

With your smiling pretty face,

But you and all your neighbors,

Are feeling much disgrace.

You sadly wilt before us,

I wish you peaceful rest,

So mercilessly the slaughter,

Victory for the garden pest.

Life's Journey - Flash 55 Friday, 5-21-10

A dream of mine,

At last come true,

A book of poems,

Long overdue!

I never thought

I’d get it done,

But it moved along,

Once I’d begun.

A lifetime’s worth,

Of thoughts in rhyme,

Experiences gathered,

Over time.

Memories triggered,

As I wrote,

At times, a lump,

Felt in my throat.

Done at last!

At the age of 65, I've finally fulfilled a lifelong dream. Nothing like taking one's time, right, but as the saying goes, better late than never! Life's Journey, my first book of poetry, is available at https://www.createspace.com/3439758. It will also be on Amazon.com in about a week to ten days.

If you order it, regardless, let me know, since they do not notify me individually who buys it. If you'll send me your home address via email or the private message section of facebook, I'll send you an autographed sticker to attach to the inside. Also, if you like the book, whether you buy it from Amazon or the createspace store, I'd appreciate it if you'd write a review.

Many, many thanks. This is so exciting for me and I must thank Joanne Olivieri for all her help in making this possible!

"The Forensic Nurse" is in this book!
