PERSONAL REFLECTIONS

About the Book

When I first began writing poetry, I was chatting At the time, she was cleaning and painting her house while her mom was in the hospital. She was so sore with pain that it inspired me to write a poem to her. Then, the greeting card industry agitated me because I was unable to find a greeting card that expressed my sentiments. Soon I began writing poetry for the greeting cards that I sent to family members. A few years later, I filed for divorce and decided to put my feelings down on paper. It helped me immensely while I was going through such a devastating time in my life. Now I write poetry for the sheer enjoyment of it, and am proud that I have the ability to capture my feelings and sentiments in an artistic form.

About the Author

INTRODUCTION

I am short

Just four-eleven

With blonde hair

Blue eyes like Heaven

I’m sixty-one

For which I’m blest

I live my life

With lots of zest

Six months of college

Is what I took

I just could not get

Into the book

Medical Assisting

Was my study

I never finished

Just too darn bloody

I was married

For twenty-three years

I’m happier now

Since I packed up my gears

Now I am doing

The things that I like

If no one approves

They can just take a hike
