DEFENDING THE PEN It’s all about murder . . . romance – writing it! I post flash fiction, book announcements, interviews, and the things I love. Careful . . . you may end up the victim . . . of fun!
Look at that sky
sorrow and sadness must fly
it's time to stand up
kick abuse to the curb
no more woe-is-me
no more words that disturb
God gave us a choice
He gave us a voice
I'll make my way
beginning today
and for all the tomorrows
believing in truth
forgiveness and peace
a gift from above
given in love
ours to claim
and without blame
see how easy it is
to wash away the gray.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words.
Summer Is Here
Covid be gone
summer is here
I've more important
things to do
and now, no fear
just listen
hear the winds howl,
gust and blow
hot air above one hundred
sweltering and sultry beyond
words
Covid be gone
it's too beautiful to be pallid
the waves crash
whitecaps on an evergreen
sea
so just leave me be
palm trees wave
but never sway
their trunks stand tall,
even in a squall
or hurricane come this fall
flowers are bright
as the bee's light
hear the bird song
the frogs' croak
nature, so full of hope
Covid be gone
it's time you departed
for regions unknown
health and happiness
God's promise, our own.
