WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

She has spent all her life ...


She has spent all her life writing, 

and much of it taking photos. 

She reads, visits galleries, travels. 

In age she has memories of loving

extraordinary men, in beautiful 

affairs and also happy marriage. 

She has adult children who are 

loved and loving, and many friends.


I would want to be Patti Smith, but

(though somewhat less travelled and

much less famous) that’s my life too!



(There is one big difference — I’m no singer, lol.)
