She studied at the University of the Arts and Florida State University before settling down and graduating from Temple University. She now resides in her hometown of Dover, DE, where she spends most of her time at work or at church. She loves fantasies, superheroes, is a trekkie and a brown coat. She loves television and lives for Final Fantasy video games, having collected most of them. She has read a myriad of authors, and her favorite authors change whenever she finds a new book that changes her life... "When you can't run, you crawl. When you can't crawl...well, you know the rest." -Tracey, Firefly, "The Message"

Poem-A-Day #7 Interaction sans Speaking

I missed yesterday somehow, but it was a long day. The theme was "A scene where people interact without actually speaking..."

He peeks around the bookcase

Fingers twitching
Today he will speak to her

She smiles to herself
He always sneaks around
When she is in

He takes his steps
Forward, down the aisle
And stands behind her

His soap is thick
His breath is soft
She pretends he's not there

But pulls her hair to one shoulder
And bows her head for a closer read
He freezes, licks his lips, and steps closer
