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!
She Walks
She Walks

She walks through
passageways of the
old Victorian house.
A bed and breakfast now,
guests whisper of glimpsing her.
A lovely young woman
clad in her high-necked,
floor length dress--
the style of her time.
She is not of ours.
The grand house
built in the 1800's,
was a wedding gift
from her wealthy father.
Her true love never
found his way
to the altar.
Death claimed him
in a carriage accident
on his way to her side.
She took to the house,
refusing to leave.
One morning,
she was discovered
lying on her wedding bed
with a dagger through
her shattered heart.
Searching for her love,
her quest never ends.
She walks.
