Poetry has a different ring when you speak it aloud. These poems have rhythm, cadence, and rhyme to make the reading of them aloud very satisfying. Different voice intonations help to express the subject: "e;Puff's Land,"e; the perfection of color when the magnificent island of Kauai is disappearing from view; "e;Paper Maps?,"e; remembering how we used to travel; "e;Discipline,"e; the absence of it when computer games has the OCD going; "e;Waiting for a Train,"e; in the sparkling, old Los Angeles station; "e;The Game of Life,"e; a musing acceptance; "e;Awe,"e; the equal of humility; and "e;Job Hunting: Over!,"e; a substantive relief. These poems are reflections of the thoughtful and emotional observations of an author coming of age in the fifties and sixties. Fear, power, loneliness, and judgment are also subjects dealt with by this observant author.

My Bestest Wish Ever is a book about our Chihuahua puppy TidBit; our daughter Pauline who went to feed the goats and a pig who got out of his pen. TidBit was our puppy who followed our five girls around. If they were outside so was he and vice-versa. The 2 goats were a gift from Granny. They were used to being behind a fence and being fed inside of it. The next morning Pauline put some food in a pan and went to feed the goats, as she walked up to the fence they ran toward her, she dropped their food where she stood and they ran right through the fence. They scared her so bad she ran back to the house and never had anything else to do with them. After that we couldn't keep them at home and they developed a taste for Mrs Longs petunias. So back inside Granny's fence they went. The pig was a trial and error way of teaching the girls how to care for an animal. We were not so successful. The gate got left open, the pig got out, we humans couldn't catch him it took another animal to show us how that was done. And to seal the deal TidBit did everything but close the gate.

My dear readers, here is another slim book of semi-poems, stories and quasi-meditations. As usual, I have gathered the material from talking to New Yorkers who arrive in the City from all countries of the world. This is a work of fiction; I have edited the material and sometimes merged similar stories into one. New York is full of people with interesting backgrounds. The City is known as the melting pot, and also as the Big Apple. Sadly, some apples have worms in them. But apples are healthy fruits and you can choose the good parts and discard the rest. While I may not have done justice to the stories I was told, the people who told me about their backgrounds were really nice people. I am grateful to them.

Kukamuga Junction was not officially the name of where I grew up. But that is what the people in the community called It. The people who lived there leased quarries from the forest service. All the people who lived there had to haul drinking water in fifty five gallon barrels. The wash water was gotten out of rain barrel caught off of roofs. Or out of rock quarries . My brothers and the other families boys had to gather wood every day so the mothers could cook make coffee or heat water for washing dishes etc. What the men did for a living was dig flag stone out of rock quarries with picks and shovels big bars and iron wedges. The forest service finally tore all the shacks down and mowed the roads into the Shanty shacks closed and ran all the people out of there. now they still dig flag stone but Stone companies are the only ones allowed, they use equipment and forklifs. When you read my book you will see that we lived a pretty harsh life but It was all we knew. My brothers both grew up and owned and operated there own construction companies. I ran kitchens with my husband who was a chef. I owned a thrift store I had a bed and breakfast for six years I was a C.N.A. for the last years of my employment. My baby sister. Worked in a hospital. So although we had adversity in our growing up years I hope this book inspires hope.
