REFLECTIONS FROM MOON LADY
I'm a woman living on a tropical island off the beautiful SW Gulf Coast of Florida. I enjoy sitting with my notebook by the water under the palms that catch the constant breezes from the bay. From my patio I can watch the dolphins at play when they grace me with a visit and, a short distance away, the barnacle-encrusted manatees swim into the lagoon and sometimes stay for hours, charming the islanders with their slow, funny antics.
In addition to reading and writing contemporary poetry, I enjoy fantasy fiction and historical mysteries. I often listen to radio dramas on BBC radio and enjoy watching the Britcoms on BBC America. I love the mythology and legends of the British Isles, as my ancestry is Scots-Irish and Danish going back to the Viking warrior, Somerled.
I've played contemporary Native American Flute for 20 years and had the opportunity to personally mentor for a week with NAF recording artist, R. Carlos Nakai (Navajo/Ute), whose beautiful music continues to inspire me. www.rcarlosnakai.com

Africa was never on my itinerary, / the route clearly marked on my ancestral map of Ireland, / spread out on the floor like a patchwork quilt / so I could smooth out the crinkly creases / that never folded up the same way twice. / / My eyes - Moon Woman Part 1: Tryst at sharepoetry

Taking a last deep breath / of the cool circulating air, / I open the car door and step out / into the Texas heat. / / Palpable and cloying, it hits me: / steamy fingers clawing little troughs of sweat / along forehead, cheeks, and back;
