Though the fog of my dreams
Was beginning to clear
I did not dare stir
For I did not want to admit to the morning
That I was in fact, awake
Just so I could hold on to this moment
A little longer
Cocooned by a fluffy cloud of warm blankets
Pulled up to my eyes
I peered over the edge
Just enough for my eyes to decipher the time
From the shades of color outside the window
And though I knew I had a full day
Ahead of me
For now
I was content to lie here
Pretending that time did not exist
Beyond this moment
Where night has slipped away
But the morning has not yet risen

It is available on Amazon. You can also order a copy signed by me on Etsy.
This poetry collection is very unique because, it was born out of a single Facebook post by James P Wagner in April:
“Who wants to write a poem with me? Here are the rules, you reply to the verse below. Your verse should be 3-5 lines. I will then reply to your verse and you reply once more, for a total of a 4 verse poem written by the two of us. Let’s see where this goes.”
Where this single facebook prompt lead to, is a published anthology of nearly 60 collaborative poems among 34 poets from all over.
The book comprises of three opening stanzas, initiating the beginning of a alternating spontaneous succession of stanzas formulating a unique poem in its entirety. Though all poems begins with the three same stanzas, each poem transforms into a unique vision as the two poets collaborated responding to each other’s stanzas.

I would like to thank Missi Martin, writer for Missi’s Book Reviews for taking the time to review my poetry book “Inspirations, Transformations and Revelations: A Poetic Expression of My Personal Journey.”
Missi typically reviews novels, so I appreciated that she deviated from her usual genres to review a poetry book. Missi started her book review passion by reviewing what she refers to as “cozy mysteries.” Upon receiving requests for reviews of other genres, she started Missi’s Book Reviews, to help support local and new writers of all styles.
You can read more of Missi’s Book Reviews on her WordPress blog and Facebook page. Her Cozy Mystery Book Reviews, focusing on reviewing mystery books, is also available on WordPress and Facebook.

Today is a special Mother’s Day for me: my first Mother’s Day as a full-time Dog Momma! After many wonderful years of being a stepmother to Ethan and Olivia, and Stepdog Momma to Maggie and Lucy, David and I decided to adopt a baby brother for Maggie and Lucy.
The day we went to meet Cash, he ran into the room with so much enthusiasm, it appeared there was not a doubt in his mind that we would take him home. And after just a few minutes with him curled in my lap, there was not a doubt in our minds, that we would either.
David likes to joke that Cash chose me. But I truly believe we were all meant to be together. (Despite what Lucy thinks). We chose each other, when the time was right.
Having Cash in my life has taught me to slow down, enjoy: waking up to weird nibbly Cash kisses, before work/pre-sunrise morning walks, the view as he sniffs everything in sight, enjoy the beautiful birds (chase the evil squirrels) and knowing someone is waiting for me at home: who can’t wait to smother me with kisses, drink water and head for a walk at the end of a long day of work.
FYI: In the time it took me to write this, Cash went for a hike with me, smothered me with kisses, played tug-a-war, and now is passed out with his favorite blankie in his mouth..
