Connections lie in wait-
something that in
the ordinary line of offenses
makes offense more great.
They entrap, they solicit
under false pretenses,
they premeditate.
They tie one of
your shoelaces
to one of a stranger,
they tie strings to purses
and snatch as
you lean down, eager
for a little something gratis.

Poetry, expression of soul and spirit, provides a foundation for my life as a teacher, psychologist, and woman. The following poets (and so many more) inspire me in my work with students and clients. I hope you enjoy these poems; please feel free to send poems to add to the blog. Please see the following links; the first four links are my other blogs; the fifth link is the professional organization to which I belong. The sixth link provides information about weekly poetry events.
