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!
Trouble Brewing
Trouble Brewing

The night of nights
is upon me now.
I must make my brew,
but I'm not sure how.

Was that frog's warts?
Or tongue of bat?
I forgot my instructions!
Oh do hush, cat!

A dash of that,
a pinch of this.
Is this brew
supposed to hiss?

Purple steam rises
and an awful stench.
Leapin' Lizards!
You're in trouble wench!

My cauldron is melting,
black iron all oozy.
I can't believe my eyes
and I'm feeling woozy.

The next time I get
an idea this bright,
I'm staying in bed
and sleeping all night!
