I live with my husband Peter in Athens where I work as an English teacher and lexicographer. I love painting and iconography of saints. When I am not working, I like traveling to the Holy Land and to Egypt. My poems have won several commendations and have appeared in various anthologies and journals like Silver Birch Press, Bonsaistories among others.

What I Call Poetry


I know I am not much of a poet myself
I just love to describe what I see
what touches my heart, what leaps to mind.

When the words do not come out quite right
and the rhythm is a bit off-key
I don' t get my knickers in the twixt

Poetry is not about the best masterpiece 
but about letting my words flow like a river
allowing the pen to scribble all over a blank page
