snow fairies

Drunk on Love

blue sky

temps in the twenties

new snow

my three mile jaunt

no one but footsteps 

twinkling like Swarovski crystals

winking like snow fairies 

sparkling like paparazzi flashes

boots crunched

afternoon shadows turned blue

some stretches were fresh 

no one had ventured

just me

breath turned ragged

swish of coat against my pants

rush of water in the half-frozen creek

some complain

some rant

some cuss

but the beauty is there

if you take a moment

to respect the snow fairies

and the magic that shimmers

on a winter’s day

I began writing several years ago after I retired from 30 plus years of teaching high school and middle school English, speech, theater, and yearbook. Ideas flowed. Blog posts multiplied. I loved my new writing life. And then...doubt and self-criticism crept into my psyche. My innocence was replaced with worrying about what others thought of my words. Months would go by without a sentence or a phrase written. Yet...I missed writing. It gave me joy. So, I have decided to bravely walk back into fire with this new website and a fresh theme. Won’t you join me on my journey?
