Debbie Peterson

Biography of Debbie Peterson
Born in Bloomington, Indiana. Married in 2003 to Greg Peterson. I started writing poems in high school. In 1987, my writing became a release after having a hysterectomy at the age of 20. My writing has now become a labor of love that I plan to give the child we adopt, which will be happening very soon.

The Child
There is no laughter
Inside these walls
There are no toys
Scattered in the halls.
No muddy footprints
On the floor.
No chocolate syrup smudges
On the refridgerator door.
