All of the Rhymes and Times of Dorothy Elaine Elaine Sharshon

I have led my life in a constant state of poetry. Since the age of about eight I saw and felt everything important in rhyme time. Hence I have gathered my life story in a book of poems that will mean nothing to you except from an entertainment aspect. I was born in the small coal mining town of Shamokin, PA on July 6th, 1925 . Yes, I'm 92 so I have a lot to write about, but I chose to capture only the events of importance to me, like having twins in 1946 when it was still a miracle. Then having a son only sixteen month later, which made me consider thoughts of suicide. Eighteen years later, when I was about to become a free spirit, I found myself pregnant.(thoughts of suicide returning to the fore again) But life held another surprise when I discovered my first born twin was expecting too, leading then to thoughts of murder. Being accustom by now to the travails of life we forged forward and delivered our bundles of joy within 6 months of each other, making my new daughter an aunt to my new grandchild and I became my own grandma. The poems I have included in my book will make notice to the times they happened and the reason of importance. I must add, at this time, that I have gone through two husbands and have been involved with a great guy a year older than myself, for the last ten years, so if you only get one thing out of my book it should be enjoy life, it's never too late to start over. For your additional enjoyment I have added some of my art work . ENJOY !
