Tami

Welcome to my site. This site features some of my passions that I have shared. When I’m not closed captioning television shows, designing websites, filming my dogs, wasting time on social networks I enjoy writing poetry, painting, and enjoying life outdoors with my wonderful husband and best friend Gerald, and our canine family. I have featured some of my poems that I have written, and hope to add some short stories.

My poetry includes poems such as “The Bee Buzzed me,” which is a recollection of the first time I can remember feeling pain and being alone. I was about three-years-old at the time. It’s always fascinated me the way the memory works. The joys in life are remembered as happy times, but the tragedies that we experience are embedded in our minds with such vivid detail. Some events we try to forget, while some we try to remember, because they are associated with a great adventure, or a favorite person, or place we hold dearly. I like to write dark poetry such as “Unspoken Death,” which I feel many of us have an untold tale buried in the closet somewhere just waiting to be released. Poetry is an art form that highlights those tales, adventures, and tragedies that we encounter.

I believe that all of our experiences whether they are good times or bad times mold us into who were are. We carry them with us everyday of our lives, as they are reflected in our thoughts and actions, and become the characteristics that make us into the being we are. I have always believed that life is what you make of it, and mine has been filled with adventure. 

Poems

Many of my poems are featured on this site. Please feel free to read them anytime, but please do not steal my works.

• The Bee Buzzed Me: This poem describes my first encounter with pain and loneliness. The loneliness came when my crying chased the dog away and I felt so far from home.
• I Like The Simple Things: It’s the simple things in life that can bring us the greatest joys. 
• The Voice In My Head: Everybody gets a little down sometimes and if your not careful your mind can take you down to the depths of despair. 
• Max The Mutt: Max just showed up one day. Life is like that sometimes, in knows just when to throw you a bone.
• Waste: One of my favorite poems in Ecclesiastics 3, to everything there is a season, even to the garden at the far end of the yard.
• Alone: Sometimes we think, oh, if I could just get a moment alone, a moment all to myself. Is that really what we want? This is the first poem I ever had published.
• The Unspoken Death: One of the greatest joys in a parents life is when their children call to just say I love you, but what about the parent that never get that call. Birthday’s and holiday’s come and go without a single call.
