Luminous in the window
of the jeweler’s at night.
She stops in front to gaze.
A pair of burnished earrings
for which she’ll have to save.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
On the other hand you could eat cheap for the week…or two!

I agree, it does help build character. I was always saving for things as a child.

I used to have a button collection, but in all my moves it seems to be gone.
