Why I Write
When I write, I draw on my experiences as a woman with a painful past, a rapturous wife and mother, a world traveler, and a spiritualist. For me, writing is an art form. Like an artist, the work becomes more than I imagined it would be. When I set out to write a story with a particular idea or character in mind, words I cannot claim as my own flow from a magical and mysterious place through me and onto paper. The work takes on a life of its own; it is living art. The process fascinates me, satiates me, and makes my life more meaningful. Please read my stories!

Day 7 - Black Roses



A black rose symbolizes death, farewell.

For Day 7, write a poem (or prose) involving love through/during death, farewell.

Black Roses



Beneath the fertile soil in the garden of my life

Lay the precious seed of hopes and dreams; an amnesty from strife

Assured my treasured promise in just weeks would start to bloom

Counting eight months down, the joys I’d found felt deep within the womb

Knotted, twisting, snarled roots; suffocating breath

Right before his birth day, he experienced his death

Overture caught in a loop lamenting shriveled shoot

Sadness choked me; farewells whispered, rendering me mute

Eight black roses in my grip whose thorns pierce mourning skin

Stand for his life without which my tomorrow must begin.
