Description :
“Music and poetry weave a kind of magic spell. If you’re brave come sit with me. I only mean to wish you well.” Words and music both cast a spell over me when I was very young. I like to tell people that whenever two or more of us were gathered, we’d sing “Blowin’ in the Wind.” And Bob D. would have been proud, too, with 13 of us belting it out! When I was 12, my little sister, Paula, showed me three chords on one of our old guitars and I wrote my first official song. Nashville, eat your heart out! In high school, I won a state poetry contest. I was on a roll!
My website is sprinkled with music and poetry and stories about it. There, you will also learn that for three years I worked full-time with homeless children, that I have four children of my own, that I’ve sung and given keynote addresses, workshops and concerts in over twenty states across the U.S. and in France and Germany, that I’ve published poetry in Cricket, Spider, and Ladybug Magazines, and that my favorite kind of poems are riddle poems.
Do you like music and poetry? Here is a sample riddle poem, one that was originally published in Ladybug Magazine:
A Sound Riddle
I fall so gently to the ground
I hardly even make a sound,
but if you roll me in a ball,
and throw me hard against a wall,
you may hear whizzing and after that
a thud or a pop or a wet ker-splat.
What am I?
The answer's on the website! See ya there!
