My first poem was published in the local paper, the Canastota Bee Journal, by my 8th grade teacher, Mrs. Lawson. There was a long hiatus and I began to write poetry again. Over the years I saved them and then put them all together. I found some of my photography fit well with them and they were added, too. This is the final product. I truly enjoyed the process. I certainly do hope my efforts bring you a little joy as you read through my little book.
