Writing poetry was something that came naturally to her a little later on in her teens.

Verse appeals to the Burbank Boulevard Elementary School, Walter Reed Junior High School and North Hollywood High School graduate because it is her own words and language.

Her work has appeared in the literary journal Spectrum and her North Hollywood
High School yearbook.

Love

Love is in the air.
Love of Life.
Love of people.
Love of art.
Love of religion.
Love to be loved.

Once loved, twice snubbed.

Love of movies, theatre, song and dance.
Love to travel to faraway places.

To be with the one you love
is the greatest gift of all.

To find true love is marvelous.

Love always wins.

To be at peace is to love.
Man cannot exist without love.

Love to love you baby.
Love is not a sin.

To begin again is delightful.
To see the light is insightful.
To show up is reliable.

Love is a fantasy.
Love is all we have.
Love is forever.
Love is being together.
Love is wonderful.
Love is exotic
