"To read is the effervescence
of champagne. To write is to plant, pick, sort, and harvest the
grapes. I spend interim hours plumping my beret and cursing the
computer."

Poetry Awards
Magnolia Moon, Texas Sage
received a top-three finalist award at North Texas Book Festival, 2009.
I’ve won two awards for poetry recently. One from the Plano Library Association for “Authority” which is
dedicated to Gwendolyn Brooks. That was in April, ‘08 for National Poetry
Month. They published it in their awards booklet, Celebrate Poetry.
The next poem won an Honorable Mention
from online Artella Words and Art in their “Poetic Idol” contest.
For all artists and writers,
www.artellawordsandart.com
is an outstanding place to get published; send them your work!
Here is the poem: (Also published in
MAGNOLIA MOON, TEXAS SAGE.)
Mother’s Bed and Mine
Her bed made quick,
army straight,
Wind-dried sheets
crisp and smooth.
Palms slid tight and
firm
Under pink chenille
pillow berm.
Even the desert is
envious.
My bed
unmade…month-old sheets
Crooked and catapulted
to floor like wrinkled
Elephant skins before
and after sleep.
Why should I make my
bed?
I’ve done some of my
best work there!
