| Monet Monet @ Grayton Beach, Fl While not photographed in France, it was a very near representation of the home of Claude Monet that I had visited nearly 14 years ago. I am currently working on a colorful book about the week I spent painting and musing in the garden's of Monet. This stop at the Grayt Grounds coffee house was just confirmation to continue with the poetic recollections of that journey. Should be complete around February 2014.  in the new book; 7 Days in Giverny |

ROUGH SKETCHES
You may have wondered why there have been no postings since January. Did I fall off the planet, been captured by aliens, moved to New Zealand? No. I've been working on my fourth book of poems - gathering, writing, rewriting, throwing out, rummaging through the trash to revive them again - then harnessing them together in book-form, and finally complete.
That's me with the happy face showing the final proofs to the sunshine. This is a slightly different sort of book of poetry, not all roses and sweet baby toes. Rough Sketches - portraits in black and white is a collection of poems I have written about the homeless, marginalized, and disadvantaged folks I've encountered during my time as a volunteer at a local outreach mission. None of these sketches represents a particular person or situation. Liberally utilizing my creative license, I've embellished, combined, and imagined scenarios to reveal a lively kaleidoscope of characters - concerned more with evoking an emotional response than purely documenting this specific segment of society.
Me again with the happy face! If you are interested in adding this wonderfully creative book of poetry to your collection, please contact me at: karenzpoemz@gmail.com The book is finished and off the presses and can be purchased through Amazon or if you see me around, I normally have a couple copies in the back of the car.

Over the Mountains
Just a little trip up and over the Smokey Mountains to Tennessee and back made more beautiful by snow and ice on the trees and bushes, but not the roads.
Christmas Cat
Our cat Frances has grandiose imaginings of a life
lived outside the house, an adventurous life
out in the wild kingdom
with flaura and fauna...
 |
| ...so when it was time to bring in the outside Christmas decorations, Frances was right in her wild kingdom element... |
 |
| ...she peeked and poked and played with all the greenery and ribbons... |
 |
| ... the end ... |
