About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

To my son,on his birthday

as you flex your biceps
and shrug into your Arrow shirt
you cannot imagine, my son
that I see before me
not a tall and slender Adonis
but a tiny bundle that on this day
fifteen years ago
gave joy a new, everlasting nuance
