Poetry

I write poetry. Some of it used to appear in magazines and papers. I put together a book in the late 70s that sold thousands of copies (a rare thing for poetry.)

For years a psychologist ordered the books by the dozens to use in group therapy. I was never sure how to feel about that.

In a couple of days we will celebrate the third anniversary of the death of my Real Husband. Yes, "celebrate" is the word. His death was a blessing for him and every person who loved him during the last years.

But prior to his final illness he was a "Larger than Life" force to be reckoned with.

Following is a little poem that I wrote in 1999 - describing my marriage.

MR. TOAD'S WILD RIDE!

Marriage is like a trip to Disney.

Most folks choose Cinderella's Merry-Go-Round.

It's nice.

We chose Space Mountain with a few stops at

the Tower of Terror.

Thanks for the ride!
