Welcome to my blog, Curious Wordsmith, home of my miscellaneous musings, writings, and more presented in thought-provoking, intelligent, humorous, informative, and entertaining posts.
This is also the foundation for my memoir.
I am old enough to have earned every wrinkle in my face, puffy eyes, scar on my body, all of the silver in my receding hair, and nose marks from my eyeglasses frames.

Gets me thinking.. the photo looks like it says “go away” and yet the window reflects a beautiful cloud formation. The poem feels heavy and yet that may be all in the past.
