The Water Lilies

There’s an empty yellow picture frame

That hangs on the wall where the curtains fold...

And if I open the window wide enough,

The sunlight makes it look like gold.


Like a picture frame, this collection of poems holds snapshots of life that evoke hope, love, desire, elation, melancholy, and ennui... emotions that form the pulse of life.


Whether it is the ever-changing ‘Kaleidoscope’of life, the rapture evoked by nature in ‘The Water Lilies’, the little cherished piece of childhood in ‘Granny’,  the bittersweet love in ‘The Perfect Fools’, the power of literature in ‘The Storyteller’ or the ray of hope in ‘Serendipity’, each poem will touch a chord deep inside.


This book will leave you with the same warmth as having a kindred soul walk with you awhile.
