Something for Everyone, with Love

Who is the author? Just one of the trillion plus members of humanity who has placed her footprint on the Earth, to stand toe-to-toe with centuries of Earth's past and present successful, famous and infamous inhabitants. Hmm, who judged their competence? We are who we are, and no one knows us better than we ourselves. But, do we actually know who we are? Why we are? Who we think we are? She wonders. Why does she love to write in a form not universally accepted-Poetry? She doesn't know. She doesn't write as the poets of old. She writes for today, her day and age, hoping her efforts will be received in the spirit in which they are delivered. Be assured, her words have been painstakingly chosen. They set a tone of pathos and humor to cajole, inspire, teach, challenge. Some poems are controversial; offered not to provoke, but to stimulate thought, awaken souls, tweak minds, set aflame every reader's imagination, stir emotions, share life experiences, offer fresh points of view. Come, journey with her; see if she lives up to her own personal writing motto: "Plant seeds and keep the blossoms in bloom. Challenge! Entertain! Educate!"
