Thinking back over the years, I haven't heard many sexual jokes about women that were tasteful. To each their own, but I like my work to be a misogyny-free zone. Mustering up my best humor skills, here are twenty-six jokes you can tell your friends. From groaners to ones that made me laugh out loud, I include all the good and borderline jokes I can recall. The jokes vary from the tastefully dirty to the just plain dirty. The word "twat" as an acronym? You wouldn't believe the punchline! Do...

Into the land of dreams I go, where phantom thoughts may be more important than the world as it is. Does belief supersede reality in our thinking, or do our beliefs really reflect what is truly within one another? Perhaps reality is a mingling of the inner and outer worlds, much like when lovers embrace. These seven short poems from a lesbian perspective look at love, lust, hatred, knowledge, rage, being, and love again. Several of the poems are erotic - adults only.

Women have long been used by unwise and wicked people as the workhorses of humanity, and given nothing but shame, infamy and ridicule in return. Looking around me, I see that many have only half-gotten the message that we must be equal to men, and the vast majority of people are ignorant of the scapegoating that the powerful and wicked use on women and many minorities, in order to preserve their power and privilege. Conspiracies are the rule in circles of power, and there is a vast one bei...

Loneliness has only recently come out of the closet, so to speak, and presented itself as a widespread condition in the world. Sufferers often aren't the obvious reclusive people: They can be mothers, fathers, teachers, doctors, or anyone from any walk of life. Waiting for the widespread denial of loneliness in our society to go away, so that people can reach out to each other, may take a long time. Try art, music, literature and poetry for therapy - and in the meantime, the reader can try...

Women (and men) are working hard in many parts of the world to see that true gender equality is reached. There is nothing to be lost (save for some who feel entitled to more) and much to be gained for everyone. At this time I think we are adrift, not having established a strong sense of what comes next. There is both danger and opportunity in being temporarily directionless, and if the supporters of women's equality act quickly, a new fruitful course can be set for humanity. Of course many...

Words can leave us drained and empty, or they can send us into the delightful tumult of dreaming. Passion is etched into each of these seven short poems, as I anticipate the revolutionary forces to come in the world. If you think the backlash against feminism is powerful, then take a close look at the reactions of feminists to the entrenchment of patriarchy. You will see that women don't simply want to save their brethren in the here and now - we want to save a planet from unbridled greed ...

This exploration of the limitless extent to which we'll go for the sake of love expresses clearly both the feelings and rewards of unbounded love. Drawn primarily from my own experiences, these poems take the reader on a journey that has to be described as metaphysical. With enough courage, love is there to be found. With experience, we cherish every moment of joy and every difficult day, because in the end, we are with a person who is worth all the suffering, and who shares in our enchant...

However many millions of people hope for good outcomes, it is still only hope. What's the difference between hope and illusions? I used to believe that if a person loses their hope, they will also lose their mind; I'm not so sure anymore. I think that destroying false hopes is the only thing resembling an answer to life's challenges.We live in a world with too many choices to harm ourselves and others, and not enough reward for the truly good choices we can make. Bending to the law...

Turning progressively darker, these nine poems finally emerge into the light of self-knowledge. The unnamed protagonist has the gift of imagination that helps lead her from one epiphany to the next. Growing up a vilified lesbian, she uses the powers of her own mind to defend against the pain and ennui of her youth. She returns to her family's neighbourhood a new person, capable, confident and happy. Uplifting and invigorating, A Happy Wanderer's Tales will inspire the reader to seek streng...

A sample of my recent work (compare "Bound" by this author.) Perhaps we'll perish in a trouncing by tyranny, or maybe we'll win a new day to keep, share and expand our liberties. The seeds of destruction have been getting laid for a long time now, and no quick answers will be found to our current troubles. Hopefully this volume of four poems will contribute to your resolve to keep tyrants at bay, and help you carry on in this increasingly Orwellian world. No adult-only content.
