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!
Near the Fountain
Near the Fountain

Near the fountain
young people laugh and talk.
Music of their voices blend
with the water's song in a joyful symphony.

Near the fountain
young lovers part ways,
soft words and flowing tears-
the fountain gushes its own tears
of sympathy.

Near the fountain
people dare to dream:
hopes, joys, sorrows.
The calm waters reflect
in cooling harmony.

Near the fountain.
