Some folks love Spring,
New faces in morning glories,
Cotton blouses and green toe nails.
Winter scarves stuffed into cedar chests.
Some folks love Fall.
The season of sounds.
Summer…I hate summers
In three digit Sacramento heat.
I brought Winter back today:
A mug of Winter –
Hot steamy cocoa –
While the city burned outside.

As it turned out, we didn’t have the podcast interview last Sunday but I did read poetry from my soon-to-be-released book of poems: Dangerous Woman: Poetry for the Ageless. And thanks to the audience, by request I read my poems on caregiving from I Am Somebody and from my children’s Wordsworth the Poet books. AND, excerpts from my Teacher, You Look Like a Horse. What a supportive audience. I enjoyed the Q&A, telling stories of how I started writing poetry, and my writing process, etc.
My interview has been rescheduled for August 20. Time and site will be posted later.
Yes, that’s my old handbag on the floor and that red feather boa used to add color to one of my poems.
Thank you for all of your who came through the 3 digit heat to support me.
