A true daughter of the Deep South, I am an incurable Romantic and love writing poetry with rhyme and meter. I love nature and have a passion for interacting with it. At present I live in the Great Smokey Mountains region of east Tennessee and am blessed with a bounty of inspiration.
Alas, I've searched the world to find
That Peace begins within the mind.
It doesnot rest in other men.
Alone, within, will Peace begin.
...
The price of drugs-heartache and tears;
And slamming cell doors-twenty years;
To fear our children, now possessed,
Our little ones we once caressed.
...
Alas! , the raging battle's done
And morning once again has come
As stillness swathes the bleak horizon o'er
The place where echoes come to strum
...
My model railroad stretched about
Through every room and floor.
I strived to make the whole layout
Look better than before.
...
I understand your pain;
I've partaken of your loss;
Though I could have had great gain,
I but chose an ugly cross.
...
