About mein a way, this is more of a bibliography than just my own books. i'll note when it's a library copy i've read, and then remove it when i actually get the book!
the image "bookworm" is by frank morley fletcher, from the early '20s
About my librarythis is really an ongoing project. i'll be adding a few titles when i can.

(Rea Williams)
Though others may curse you for a weed,
To destroy they deem their duty,
For me you are a lovely flower
And I revel in your beauty.
You're first to show your brilliant color
After winter's bitter cold.
You're truly springtime's harbinger
With your delicate mounds of gold.
Your flowers are food for a weary soul,
Your leaves a zesty tonic -
Such succulent flavor they contain
It makes us feel bionic.
I know your color soon will fade
But your seeds are avian food -
So, like the wind and thus the flower,
It's ill that blows no good.
In God's great plan for nature
Everything does have it's place
And I, for one, am always glad
To see your smiling face.
