The rainbow return of Iris

I began The List Rainbow Return of Iris - Poems of Hope, Beauty and the Triumph of Love

To collect all the little drops of dew from the rainbow return of Iris.

As in Ishtar’s descent, Persephone’s abduction, or the quest of Isis to recover the parts of her lover, Iris represents my own journey downward through the gates of hell in the process of recovery. A process documented in Excavation - Poetry of Blood, Guts and Tears

Rose Red

As a small girl, I loved the story of Snow White, and her sister, Rose Red.
Then, all of a sudden like, every where I looked, it was all about Snow White. The story even changed, her sister was written out of the script completely.

I always wondered what happend to Rose Red, perhaps she ended up at some quaint little tea shop surrounded by a different sort of elf all together. Instead of coal and lanterns, bet they baked brioche and biscotti!

I began Red Rose- Mythical, Mystical, Experimental Poetry

with Rose Red in mind.
