First new poem

Well, here I am again thinking about a new poetry collection. It makes me laugh to think how long it takes me to write poetry that I think is halfway decent. My first collection was about 15 years in the making. I'll surely be an old woman when the next collection, edited and culled appropriately, comes out! lol!

Anyway, I've been busy pooping out new poetry for a couple of weeks. I'm a primitive (no literary training, I just write what I feel, so yeah, my stuff is rather rough.) You've seen it here first, folks (all two of you that visit this blog.) Keep in mind it's still a work in progress. It was inspired by many things, the most important being one of my favorite poets and one of my favorite poems by him - Walter De La Mare's I Met At Eve.

A Forest Deep

I wandered through a forest deep

of many muted shades of green

in misty mountains under webs of trees

silent as forgotten dream.

In a foggy clearing a port lay

twinkling lights rest near river's edge

old barges drift in from the bay

under the morning's gray ledge

Beyond the river the geese soar

webs of firs climb the hilly steep

fog rolls across the forest floor

shadows of shadows cover the mountain keep

I wandered through a forest deep

of many muted shades of green

in misty mountains under webs of trees

silent as forgotten dream.

New short story just published

I just published my first short story on Smashwords. It's called Night Terrors.

Now any who have read this blog for any length of time may have remembered that I once posted it here for free to read a few years back. But it's been edited and revamped, improved upon since then and definitely since I first wrote it back in 2000. I definitely think it's a much better story now. Now normally on this blog I will promote my work on Amazon.com and soon the link under the Featured Work to the right on this blog, will change, but Amazon.com takes a while to publish so for the time being, here it is at Smashwords.

I hope $0.99 won't break your budget. I plan to publish another short story in a few months and that one will be free. I'll give you a little hint now; It's called The Green Door. It's a working title.

Also my poetry book, When The Sky Is Gray which you can find on Smashwords and Amazon.com is also free.
