Flying saucers, toppling chairs, seniors stumbling everywhere
Bottle rockets full of rum and Jose Cuervo shooting into air
St. Johns angry, choppy, spitting, each white cap a twisted furl
Good thing I downed my Dramamine ’cause folks began to hurl
Turn off the slots, collect the chips, gambling’s cancelled, honey
I won today! I never played….disembarked with all my money

Living my personal mission statement, “Each One, Teach One,” my greatest blessing is being the mother of two, grandmother of three and a lifelong educator. A graduate of UF and UNF, I am the former principal of St. Paul’s Catholic School in Jacksonville Beach, Florida and executive director of Tree Hill Nature Center in Jacksonville.
Since retirement my avocation is now my vocation – freelance writing. The technical writing of past professional life evolved into more creative genres of poetry, short fiction and memoir. My goal is to invoke the entire spectrum of human emotions in my reader: longing to laughter, pain to promise, despair to discernment.
