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!
Hope Dies
Hope Dies

Cold, unforgiving eyes
tell me you are dangerous-
a threat to my life.
I was warned,
by family and friends.

I didn't listen.

I thought you would change.

You said you would.

Our "love" has become a cruel joke.
Your rage manifests itself
in bruises and broken bones-
mine.

My dreams of our future
are shattering,
lost in my screams.

My hope buried in despair.

My light is fading.

I don't care anymore.
