About This Author

A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Cooking with Words

Rough draft is finished
written in a rush of words,
simmering pot of ideas
flared to high,
boiled over--

Ripe with sense of achievement
never-the-less:
it is time to render.

Notepad chopping block,
red pen knife
slices and dices.

Chop tenses, grate ideas,
Toss words, peel paragraphs,
Sprinkle descriptive seasonings to taste,
trim rough edges, find the core.

Set to rise,
to bake, and cool:
Place on the plate
with style and garnish.
Serve immediately.
