Welcome, I have been writing poetry and short stories for more years then I care to count, I have volumes filled with my scribblings and scratchings, only now I have decided to share them with others who love writing as much as I do.. If you read any of them I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them..

If you are interesting in learning how to make backgrounds and tags please join my group 'Callisto's Backgrounds and Tags Class'.. I'd be very pleased to see you there..
The name of my border is 'StarDancer'..
It was created by me using the beautiful artwork of Niarbon at Deviantart.com.. If you wish to see more of this fine equine art here is the link:

My background and avatar were created by me.. I truely enjoy creating tags and backgrounds, it feeds that artistic side of me that poetry doesn't always fulfill.. I will do a personal background if asked but, unless you are serious about it, please don't ask me.. They can take hours, sometimes a couple of days to do, so you can see why I would only consider doing a background for a serious request.. Thank you..
If you see one of my backgrounds in a contest and would like it please ask me and I would be happy to add your name to it..
At this time in my life, I have a wonderful, sweet cat who goes by the name of Feather Tea.. She loves both things.. Feathers and tea.. I have to make sure I leave my cup some place away from her or it's goodbye nice cup o' tea..
Callisto=a nymph in Grecian mythology, a favorite of Artemis,Goddess of the Hunt..
Athena=Greek Goddess of Wisdom and Patron of Crafting

I am a lover of all things romantic.. Fantasy I live and breath.. Science fiction I grew up on and love.. (How can it be called fiction when it always seems to come true in the end?).. I have loved and enjoyed anything and everything to do with Star Trek and consider myself a true-blue Trekker.. I think the Lord of the Ring films are the epitome of great movies, truly bringing special effects into the 21st century.. I'm glad I've lived long enough to see these great stories fall from Tolkien's pages to appear before our very eyes..
I have a creed and an idea I live by, perfectly expressed in this sentiment:
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find
each other, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped
(and all is still beautiful)."
And this quote:
You can't treat people like shit and not expect to get some on you..
I grew up on the ocean and have been away from it for more then years then I like to think about.. I miss the sea, the wondrous beauty that would greet me each day..
Always different, like a lady, you never knew what kind of mood she would be in.. I miss the warm sand between my toes or sitting on the beach just thinking about all those things that we humans tend to contemplate from time to time, you know, important things, like beer and how it's made or did I remember to pick up potato chips for the party.. Those kinds of things.. ![]()
Those of you who live by her shores consider yourselves fortunate indeed..
Tag created by me![]()
The two most beautiful things made by The Creator are the horse and
the sea..
The Last Goddess
by
Callisto Athena
splendid in all her glory..
The evening sun's light kisses her,
a king giving blessings to his consort..
From her all life arose
and when she is gone
life shall cease to be..
But I shall remain here,
paying homage to the last
living goddess..
Cancer : is the fourth and cardinal/water sign of the zodiac. General personality traits of a typical Cancerian: Positive: Kind, helpful and caring, sympathetic to need, domestic homebodies, intuitive and protecting, generous to a fault.
Negative: Easily hurt, jealous and possessive, remains insulted, selfish and self centered, inward looking, overbearing, cranky and irritable.
(And this is WHY I'm allowed to be cranky and irritable whenever I feel like it!
)

Tag from Glitter Graphics
to own some wonderful animals, horses,
dogs, cats, birds and others..
If I could get back all the hours
that I spent on the back of my horses
I would spend them all and more doing
exactly the same thing again..
My AP Family:
My funny, delightful and silly as me, sister-Desire
My Sweet Sisters: Doolie, Jaded Lily and Maralisa...Luvs you guys! ![]()
My Wonderful Granddaughters: Sweet Impatience, DinkyDiver
and Serenity Silvermoon.. My cowgirl sister, so much like me,
gentle Gulfbreeze.. Your all so great!
My Kind and very witty Brother:Maxboy..Your so nuts!![]()
My sweet, sweet sister and the bravest gal I know-Blushfulmoon-
My favorite time of the year is fall.. I love the crisp cool air and the way the autumn winds blow away the summer heat.. I love all things about this season, from the wonderful woodsy smells to the delightful and fun Halloween decorations (also my favorite holidayof the year)..
The stunning colors around my neck of the woods would take your breath way and Feather, like most animals, always goes a little nuts when the swift winds come knocking at the door..
She loves chasing leaves around!
Feather's Laughter
By
Callisto Athena
her cat laughter apparent
all over her funny little face..
Then she runs back to me,
as if to apologize for her blunder,
but we both know different..
She knows what she's doing,
she never makes a misstep,
but she loves to try and fool me..
I go along with her feline games,
two kindred souls are we,
one in skin and one in fur..
Please feel free to sign my guest book, I'd love to hear from you if you have the time.. Thank you very much for stopping by! ![]()
