Seven years later and I’ve finally taken the time to update my Bio! What can I tell you, I’ve been busy. Lol – I think it comes with the excitement of my new book (only a couple of weeks away from availability). Yay! So, I hope that you will all stop by to read it and let me know what you think. Thank you. 🙂 Also, if any of my subscribers here on WordPress are on Tumblr please join me there as well. My page name is LovePoetryMe. I’d love some advice on how to add website links etc. I still haven’t perfected the ins and outs of WordPress and now I have another to learn. Time and technology don’t stop for a breath moving forward but I must! The sun is shining and I’m going to pull myself away from my keyboard long enough to stretch my legs and enjoy what’s left of the day.

Have a good one everybody! 🙂

Boarding the railroad is for ordinary Joes,

Working stiffs—

I am ordinary Jane.

Everyone shares a lift

to his or her destination.

We are one, riding,

passengers in a traveling trance,

owned by places.

I distinguish my identity,

imagine crying out:

I’m too pretty for these blue and red vinyl seats!

Season’s floral landscape

passing windows

tinged from evening rain

nourishes souls aboard,

a funeral for unfulfilled dreams.

Victims of lifelessness—

I want to peel wasted time,

like a tangerine!

For what reason do we die this way,

never picking daffodils,

admiring laughter.

Playing sounds of waterfalls on tape,

we see birds in their song,

live beautiful moments

in manufactured peace.

Today could be extraordinary,

if given a chance—

A smile turned golden.

When the time comes to participate

in life’s luster again,

I won’t return, but send a postcard,

sealed with dancing lips.

The other day I jumped onto WordPress to apologize for being less active in my reading, posting, etc. I’ve been busy finalizing details for the publication of my new book, Life in Between. I excitedly posted the links to Barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc. Today, I received a printed version as it will go out to the public, and STOP THE PRESSES!

It’s explained to me that it’s rare for any issue to occur with the printer. My middle name is, Rare! I’m the 1% out of a million to have anaphylaxis to medication. However, my one in a million odds for winning the lottery works fine siding in the opposite favor.

News flash: The printer has been stopped. Temporarily Unavailable is what you’ll receive as a message when placing an order for my book. Why? The photographs are not represented properly with the detail, light, depth, composition, that are in the actual ones submitted and that showed perfectly electronically.

This is a hugely upsetting situation for me being people have already ordered, I’ve launched campaign ads, and so forth. Trying to find the silver lining, or at least the humor. I’m a humorous kinda gal in the midst of tragedy. Details, and more details to be rearranged. Headaches. Worry. Oh, and I’m tired, in need of a vacation that includes alcoholic beverages served in cut-out fruit.

Thank you everyone for the continued support. I’ll be back with things ready to roll again in no time. Life in Between, the title of my book for a reason.

My apologies if I haven’t been as active recently reading and keeping up with new posts. I’ve been inundated finalizing details for the release of my new book, Life in Between, a collection of poems and photographs. This is an exciting time for me. I hope that many of you will pick-up a copy of the book. I’m positive you will enjoy the poetry and photography. Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to continuing enjoying all of your blogs. 🙂

These links are to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iUniverse. In the following weeks the book will be listed on additional sites and a preview will also be available. Happy Reading!
