She’s the quintessential Renaissance Gal—and it’s all Thorn’s fault. Ok, not really. With a Masters in Transformative Language Arts, Tiffany is not only a voracious reader and exceptional performer but a professional writer and editor.
Her favorite genres to edit are poetry, young adult, sci-fi, fantasy, and thrillers (bring on the horror, it don’t scare her). But she’s a learned reader, and her strength is in comprehensive editing for optimal story flow. Tiffany asks the necessary questions to help you hone each chapter, ensuring readers get your best work.
Tiffany is President of the San Diego Book Awards Association, as well as a member of ASCAP, The National Forensics League, and Transformative Language Arts Network.
I integrate Transformative Language Arts into any work I do, and I work with people all over the world, but I can’t tell you who they are, due to NDAs! I was once told, “you exude art.” So, I decided to spend the rest of my life helping other like-minded individuals get to do the same.
David. I really love this. To the point. A sharp point. Clear, concise what love is and isn’t. How quick to die, to kill the flame with blame. “Deadly twins to the death of love.” What happens to uncoil a love gone astray?
Bittersweet, with truth of many a relationship. So sad, though, as all one must do is realize what they once saw within another, and bring it to the surface. Your poetry speaks of how life can turn the best of relationships into the worst. Well done.
How we choose to express love or not – there in lies the possibilities. You expressed this so elegantly. Thought provoking.

I would love to hear you read your poem…. Thorn, is it possible to encorporate a video blog here?? (As if you didn’t have enough to do!)
Thanks Mr. Jenkins. Lovely work.
Interesting possibility, Miryam. I will really look into it. I have a week off with Spring Break, and will be expanding and refining what we can offer all who enter our playground. BTW, we are backlogged in entries–a good thing–so you and others who have entries will need to be patient a bit longer before yours is posted. Love you Miryam…(and I am not alone in that!)
David…Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you on the planet? Do you have a website for your creative endeavors? Ever publish your stuff in print copy? Book reads? Miryam has got me curious.
I split my time between Port Townsend, WA and Ballard, a part of Seattle. I do not have a web site, but I share my poetry and prose memoirs with a few friends. I am recently divorced after 54 years of marriage, as you might guess from the poem I submitted. I fell in love with someone else over twenty years ago and never fell out of love with her. A few years ago I started reading Pablo Neruda in both Spanish and English and after a year or so, Saraswati came and sat on my shoulder bringing her poetry into my soul. I steal it from her and claim it as my own. She was the consort of Brahma, the Goddess of music, poetry , science and wisdom. Kristy Webster is a friend of mine and we are so sorry she has moved away from Port Townsend.

I think Stevie Smith’s “Not Waving But Drowning” is your poem.

Very much enjoyed this sing-song parade of love.
I like your reply.

Your Fourth stanza/seventh line I felt the power behind your voice within my heart.
Underlying your good poem is an admonishment to new and old lovers: let your heart talk it out before you rush head- and heart-long into love’s fire.
Nice work, David!
