Nonne’s Tale

Summer heat,

City pavement,

I wear my favorite blue dress

down Madison Av.

I’m 89 years old,

quick witted

but my limbs are slower

than they once were.

The man

snatches my purse,

sprints down the street.

I take off after him

running and shouting,

“Stop thief!”

I don’t know

what

I would have done

if I had caught him.

I am a writer, painter, potter, and photographer. I was drawn to writing late in life due to my professional life as a speech-language pathologist (SLP). This led me to an interest in language, social communication, and writing. I believe creativity heals ourselves and our society, and is a way to find an ethical, sustainable future.
