queen of quaint,
a title lovingly bestowed
on me, myself and me
some time ago
an observation of a
mere acquaintance
and rightfully so
my golden years upon me
my life flying by in a
woosh, reaching out for
purpose and symmetry
yet not numbed into
boredom
a free-spirited soul
sipping a cup of
her favorite coffee
while yearning to express
thoughts of yore,
thoughts of today
thoughts of morrow
looking forward to
another sunny and
whimsical day

A gander at me –
I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years being rewarded both professionally and personally. Now it’s time for me to follow my dreams by doing things I enjoy…spending time with family, learning, sharing, traveling, writing poetry and encouraging others to pursue their goals.
My writing and creative endeavors can be found at my blogs, BrewNSpew (Coffee-break Scuttlebutt) and PoetryPalette (Poetry, a seasonal state of mind), where I have gathered a following of kindred souls who share my passion for writing.
I am the author of e-books, Seasoned Delights, A Haiku Collection; and Mama, me and Mother Nature.

My time is also spent as a Brand Ambassador for beBee.com, a social website based in Madrid, Spain.

king of kind
a title crowned
upon me, myself and i
ages ago
when I wanted
to give life
and all its gifts
away to those that need
the dissipation of my greed.

Loved this, Dear E!! I so identified with your line – “my golden years upon me
my life flying by in a woosh,” Having time and choices is such a delight! No wonder they don’t want the young to know of such things!!!
