CONFESSIONS OF A BLUE TOMATO


STILL ENTRANCED

is the name of a song
I first recorded on my keyboard
I finally transferred it to
digital from an audio tape.

It has that sultry “slow-dancing”
sound I want for an album.

Will I ever get that done?

color me blue


I like to feel the color blue


a blue collage of New Yorker Covers

 against a blue wall

I like to take photos of things in blue



like this blue glass slipper

which belonged to Mother

Did it remind her of Cinderella?

And this is my blue living room



and my new drum set

I love playing a snare drum

in the New Horizon Band



I made this arrangement back when

 the camellias were blooming

I haven’t posted a blog
in ever so long, because
I’ve been editing my memoir,
Confessions of a Blue Tomato.

It’s taking so long!
82,000 wds. of proof reading.

Here’s my memoir description:

Confessions of a Blue Tomato is a
compelling portrait of growing up as
a gloved and girdled girl of the '50s
with unfulfilled hopes and dreams.
This hauntingly unforgettable
mother-daughter story
of music and the movies, 
is told with psychological insight
through the narrator’s poignant
 and humorous Southern voice.
