http://www.evlanelli.com/biography.htm

I m living my passion. I ve made up stories and poems from the time I could talk and read- which my mother says happened about age two. Writing seemed a natural career choice; however, it took decades to finally come together, says Yvonne "EV" Lanelli, freelance writer, photographer and editor. But now, I m finally living my passion. She and her late husband, Rusty, continued to ski all over the western United States and Canada, in Europe and New Zealand- and traveled to Africa, China, Thailand, and Aust...

Doorknobs and Keyholes: Desert Rain

http://doorknobsandkeyholes.blogspot.com/2011/08/desert-rain.html

Opening doors and peeking through keyholes to find fresh perspectives. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Please, sleep, not tonight. Music of desert rain thrills my soul. Can't miss a beat of it. Deep humming waterfall pounds. The roof drum over my bed and. Counterpoint staccato needles of raindrops. Rise and fall with the rhythm of rain. No lying in bed. Wonder pulls me to spattered windows. Glimpses of impatient waterfall on patio steps. Mountains hidden behind a curtain of rain. Abed, drifting to sleep.

Doorknobs and Keyholes: Poem for a hot summer's day

http://doorknobsandkeyholes.blogspot.com/2012/06/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html

Opening doors and peeking through keyholes to find fresh perspectives. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Poem for a hot summer's day. Love Story: A Heavenly Blend. I met you at the ice cream shop. Me—dark and husky, slightly nutty. You—rosy-checked and sweet. Mr Truffle introduced us. Said we were a perfect match. Too timid to resist under pressure. I was used to standing on my own. Not sure I wanted a partner. But he took us to a mixer. Just try it," he said. Everyone who saw us together. And now I'm convinced.

Doorknobs and Keyholes: I AM

http://doorknobsandkeyholes.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-am.html

Opening doors and peeking through keyholes to find fresh perspectives. Saturday, August 27, 2011. The recycled rusty bit mounted on a post as art. An eagle soaring with sunlight framing each feather in my wings. An owl calling "who? In the night. Who will listen? Twenty years old in the skin of an elephant. The whoa Nellie that my mom rode. A world globe, sepia with age, calling out places that no longer exist. Advisor, hand holder, séance maven in a paisley turban. Curly spiced French fries. Keith, me t...

Doorknobs and Keyholes: April 2011

http://doorknobsandkeyholes.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Opening doors and peeking through keyholes to find fresh perspectives. Sunday, April 24, 2011. In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it, you'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade." Irving Berlin. The Easter dresses Mom sewed for her three daughters didn't include bonnets, but they made us feel grand. I searched for the photo today, the one with the three of us lined up on the concrete front porch, wearing our light-weight nylon dresses with tiny green flowers and a narrow ribbon sash.

Doorknobs and Keyholes: March 2011

http://doorknobsandkeyholes.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Opening doors and peeking through keyholes to find fresh perspectives. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Writing on the Muse Stream. Of course it wasn't the same at all. Without opening my eyes I could see the bright shards of mirror sparkles that shot in every direction, showering me with the fragrance of crushed citrus leaves and pewter cup rims. My thanks to Mark David Gerson http:/ markdavidgerson.com. And his book The Voice of the Muse: Answering the Call to Write. Links to this post. The Voice of the Muse.
