Baltimore Harbor

sailboats and high rises
seagulls and flags
water ripples in concentric circles
ducks preen and squabble 
among themselves 
the sunken iron tug
a nursery for ducklings
clack of metal on mast
tweet, hoo, cak cak
call of seagull
as they take flight
this chipped-paint picnic table
my parlor
the floor
littered with shells

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.
