When I was a little girl my parents had an old 8 track player and a ton of tapes in the basement. I never paid much attention to most of them because I had one or two favorites. The one I kept coming back to over and over again was Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. I can [...]

Advice on a fortune from a fortune cookie I found today in a used book: ‘Opportunities surround you if you know where to look.’
The Rain
Posted in poetry on June 22, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I am guilty
of listening to the rain
and dreaming of cafes
and movies theaters;
Saturday night dates
of Italian food by candlelight,
Browsing quiet bookstores
and snuggling on warm couches…
but when I turn around
I am dining with ghosts,
seducing spirits,
cuddling with memories,
and murmuring to no one
but the dull faint whispers
of raindrops…
Ripples

We wrapped ourselves
in a vine of regrets
cut off from
the rest of the world
but truth
bled out from the tourniquet
and spilled onto the floor
until the pool
became a river
covering everything in its path -
devouring whole cities
turning skyscrapers to sand
as we became
small stones
Ripples
blemishes
unable to stand
a fighting chance…

Debating whether I want to go back to school to get my master’s in library science has taken the wind out of me. I know I want to do it; the question is how to accomplish it. The closest school that offers my degree of choice is nearly 2 or 3 hours away. Then again, [...]

This is a birthday cake I made for my friend Donna. That strawberry is a Lisa original since I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing…heh…

I have never really thought of myself as a writer.
In fact, until about four or five years ago, I considered myself a musician. Writing certainly played a supporting role but never quite found a spot in the inner circle. This is ironic now because I write quite a bit, yet I never talk about music [...]
In the Darkness
Posted in poetry on June 11, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Slipping through the shadows of trees
under the moonlight
with vigilant eyes,
Pausing to listen -
Only silence and stillness
and the occasional echoes
of the night birds’
fluttering wings…
I plot my course carefully,
doubting my every move
plunging through the darkness
that curses me,
invites me to fall prey
to its web of deceptions,
ensnaring me with false hopes….
The silence is still there
running through the vast terrain
like [...]
Insert Title Here (cause I was too lazy to make one up)

Stephen King admits his stories often start as ‘what if’ moments. ‘What if people were trapped in a car by a rabid dog?’ ‘What if vampires took over a small town?’
While listening to a song the other day, I was struck by a ‘what if’ moment of my own. The concept is interesting, though I’m [...]
