Tanqueray & Perrier
Tanqueray and Perrier
with bitters, ice, salt rim
satisfies the evening yearn
when walls start closing in
turn the grill on
soak the shrimp
in lime and Sriracha
cook ‘em fast
eat em slow
desert summer’s
gotcha

Wounded
Poetry is natural medicine, it is like a homeopathic tincture derived from the stuff of life itself–your experience. Poems distill experience into the essentials. Our personal experiences touch the common ground we share with others.”

Let Us Blind Fools
A few days ago my friend and mentor, Sherry , challenged us to write about our inner Wild Women. Reading my fellow poets’ responses taught me more, helped me more, than most other recent endeavors. We are a powerful crew! This poem was borne of those readings, along with gratitude and appreciation for gifts and talents that abound.
When we embrace
uniquenesses
and let our lights shine
bright
the brilliance enlightens
selves, each other
illuminates the way
for souls, younger
and blinds the fools
everybody wins
