About Me
Prolific poet and writer (b. 1961). My husband is my soulmate & strongest supporter. I'm Catholic, with a Buddhist sensibility, I live for words, food, music, and nature. I love to laugh, lounge and linger over a good book. I can't say no to a cat--for long. I try to act for the benefit of man and the earth. Reach me at poetikat46@yahoo.ca
Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?
Uh, pull off the shell and that's as naked as it gets.
