My inspiration for writing poetry and publishing my book called Visions in Verse, comes from a series of events that made me question my former career as a nurse practitioner and my life’s purpose. It was my passion for writing poetry that ultimately led to a total life transformation and a new career. Writing poetry empowered me to let go of fear and to follow my dreams.
My poetry has been published many times in newspapers, magazines and hard bound poetry anthologies. Two of my poems were selected among thousands to be recorded on CDs and record collections produced by the International Society of Poetry. I have received editor’s choice awards and I’m recognized in the International Who’s Who of Poetry. In addition to being a published poet with my own book, I am an award winning speaker with repeated invitations to display my work and present my poetry to groups at local libraries and organizations in my community.
For many years, my artistic talents combined with intense passion and drive, allowed me to enjoy success in my own company. It was the passion for creating artwork and poetry that led me to take Visions in Verse to the next level of artistic expression. My collection of art poems, many of which can be personalized for gift giving, is available at www.visionsinverse.com

Ivory lace and babies breath with rose buds in her hair;
A champagne toast and gourmet foods with song and dance and cheer;
As he holds her in his arms with passion burning bright,
The background fades, they stand alone surrounded by a light.
...
The fairer sex is what she's called. A struggle to begin.
For in a world where man is king it's difficult to win.
But tenderness and nurturing are not to be misread.
A strength and power to rule the world lie in her pretty head.
