Story Time
Tell me a story
of things that smell lovely
Jasmine, Patchouli
I love you truly
Post note: The poem is from my vault of nursery rhymes written in the 70’s – 80’s that I’ve recently been re-writing. The photo is from a Woman’s Wellness Week bookmaking workshop sometime in the early 90’s and is a page in my collage journal. That’s my friend Jayn on the left and me on the right.

I had a small press publisher once long ago for them but before we could get to it, her company folded! I have beautiful illustrations for them, done by a Floyd artist. Many of the rhymes were written for children I know. There are some flaws, for sure, that need to be worked out that I can see better now.
