Bio Note: I’m a multi-genre writer who spends a lot of time on Facebook working on my blog, The Fringe 999. That is where I found out about Verse-Virtual. My writing has been accepted for publication in the Journal for New Jersey Poets, Smarty Pants Magazine for Kids, and New Note Poetry. My writing grew from a love of wandering around New Jersey, where I live with my partner in Mt Arlington and work on my butterfly garden and expanding waistline.
Zee Sonnet
With a zinnia in her hair
Zelda admired her garden
of purple and pink azaleas.
She gazed at Hemingway
would he consider presenting her
with a zebra or zebu from his next
safari in Zambia?
Scott knew of her love for zed
and bestowed upon her a sacred
page from the Zend-Avesta.
It became the zenith
of her collection
until a zephyr blew it
zigzagging into the water.
