Welcome to My Seriously Joy-filled World of Words! 

I'm a writer, reciter, a speaker, a teacher, a sister, a daughter, a mother, a wife. A listener, a seeker , a maker of nonsense, a reader, a leader, a lipslippery fool. A doctor, a walker, a talk-talk-talk- talker, a giggle-glad Oma, an odd sort of soul.

Yearner and learner 
An ever beginner! 
Hope is my teacher 
Life is my school.

Come live and be merry and join with me and sing the sweet chorus of Ha Ha Hee.  
~ William Blake

Merry-Go-Day

 

Merry-Go-Day is one of my favourite book of poems because it was inspired by the sights, smells, tastes, sounds and energy of a day at The EX - otherwise known as The Fredericton Exhibition where my children and I went every year. The book is now out of print but there is a tape! So keep checking the Fitchcast podcast.

My legs are scrambled eggs, my mind is a lemon rind…
