Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
Frayed
Frayed


I am frayed
like the edges
of an old worn rug.
I am worn thin
from many footfalls
taken upon me.
Though my fibers
try to remain strong,
my luster and beauty
have long faded.
Bright color and pattern,
shadow of memory,
stolen by repeat washings.
Roll me up, I am tired,
worn, thin and dull.
My usefulness long past.
