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!
Midnight Show
Midnight Show


Flash of blade, twist of steel,
someone's goin' down.
Gang fight, drug deal soured,
doesn't really matter.
Another midnight show.

Roll weed up in thin paper,
while that one finds a vein.
Forever the same, sad scene but
tonight one's not going home.
Another midnight show.

Huddled in corner, a woman cries,
the man in drunken rage.
He's marked her again for some sin
imagined in his insane mind.
Another midnight show.

All are flashes on the screen
of the cop's jaded vision.
He's seen this all repeat itself,
he's tired, God, he's tired of
another midnight show.
