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






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.

Life's Journey

Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well.

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!

My Poetry Book - Flash 55 Friday, April 30, 2010


My Poetry Book

I feel like Grandma Moses,
But, at least it’s now complete,
At 65, to get it done,
Feels like a major feat.

“Life’s Journey”, will be published,
Poetic works of mine,
You’ll see a little bit of me,
In every single line!

Never, never give up on your dreams,
No matter how impossible it seems!

I'm Ready


I’m Ready



I'm ready for adventure,
At the dawn of this new day,
For an unexpected thrill,
That life might throw my way.

I'm ready for some travel,
To exotic, distant lands,
To swim in Bali's waters,
Or see Egypt's shifting sands.

I'm ready for new learning,
To enrich my mind once more,
I always thirst for knowledge,
And know there's more in store.

I'm ready for the world to change,
For all our wars to end,
I wish I'd see a time, somehow,
We'd call each other "friend."

I'm ready for some changes,
I guess I’ll start with me,
Perhaps they'll be contagious,
And others might agree.

I'm ready for a romance,
The "forever after" kind,
I know I'll have to search,
For those are hard to find.

I'm ready for what life may bring,
I hope my dreams come true.
I'll keep the faith until I find,
Someone just like you!
