"A Poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom" - Robert Frost
What is Well Water Poetry?
Poetry has been the means through which I have discovered healing and wellness in my own life and I am committed to sharing this process with others. I believe everyone is a writer and deserves the opportunity to grow and learn and play by writing what is in their hearts.
My workshops celebrate this self-discovery and the delight and wisdom that come from finding hidden reservoirs of meaning and richness in our lives.

"All that glimmers"
Well Water
by Randall Jarrell
What a girl called "the dailiness of life"
(Adding an errand to your errand. Saying,
"Since you're up . . ." Making you a means to
A means to a means to) is well water
Pumped from an old well at the bottom of the world.
The pump you pump the water from is rusty
And hard to move and absurd, a squirrel-wheel
A sick squirrel turns slowly, through the sunny
Inexorable hours. And yet sometimes
The wheel turns of its own weight, the rusty
Pump pumps over your sweating face the clear
Water, cold, so cold! you cup your hands
And gulp from them the dailiness of life.
