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!
Prophecy
Prophecy

She lights the candles,
four of them--
one for each quarter.

A storm in the distance
brings fire, water and air.
Bowl of earth on altar.

The circle is cast.

She gazes intently
into the smoky mirror
awaiting the vision
she knows will come.

It shows itself and
she grits her teeth.

Darkness. Despair.

Evil is coming her way.

The wind howls its response,
catching her velvet cape.

The prophecy is to be.
