I found a man in my garden bed,
Picking herbs for his wife, he said,
For she was hungry and heavy with child.
"For greens, your daughter is mine," I smiled.
So after the birth, I took her away
To a tall, doorless tower where she would stay.
I was her mother, she my one care--
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your fair hair!"
But then a prince came and stole her young heart,
So I cut her long locks and let her depart.
I took her tresses for my own
And saw how beautiful I had grown.
Then I wondered: could I, too,
Find a prince so valiant and true?
I married a king, to my delight,
With one daughter named Snow White.

Writing is my passion. However, second to that is wildlife photography. I am currently a student at University of Phoenix. I have an Associates Degree in Arts and Communications and will have my Bachelor's Degree in English in August of 2012. After that, I plan to Master in Creative Writing. I have a loving husband, two fantastic kids, five adorable grand children, and one lovable dog named Socks.
It's been cold all day, but we still had only a thin layer of snow on the ground when I went outside this morning. I was full of ideas on how to decorate the apartment, but I didn't get anything accomplished, not because I was too busy or anything, but quite the opposite. I WAS LAZY! But I was also thinking about Bill's upcoming back surgery, which put me in a rather somber mood. However, I was just a bit elated when my teacher commented on my essay.

I haven't written in a few days, so I thought I'd do a little catch-up. I've been busy with my studies and am in the 4th week of ENG/306 which is a poetry class. Surprisingly I made a perfect score on my last essay, even though I didn't think I did so great because, let's face it, I'm not a poet! I'm a storyteller! Like I said before, I've been bored for the last few days, so to get out of the humdrum I decided it was time to try to get back some normalcy. When we lived in the country, my husband and I loved feeding and watching the birds, and I took thousands of photographs. But since we moved into an apartment in town four months ago and Bi
Today is windy, wet, and cold. It's one of those days that I call a betwix day because it's betwix Autumn and Winter. The leaves are gone from the trees but there is no snow to fill the void. It's just an ugly time of year, and that makes me feel sad and lonely. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
