Inspiration comes in fits and spurts, laced with time, warmed with the heart. Each of my offerings began with a whisper, a pause to see, hear, and reflect.

Underwear
Underwear Beneath the neat veneer of costumes Fitted or billowed, Muted or embellished, Bare skin Wears no sin. For the bottom cushions And the top jiggles Like my thoughts Soften with giggles, I philosophize, Villainize, and capitalize. There is more to what you see,...
Coming Home
Home again My stomach complains. I fast on the intensity of flavors. Satisfied to stir-fry crisp vegetables. Not to remove knowledge But to cleanse the senses. Home again I absorb the quiet. Revisit moments I sit in my brown chair, And rest. A clear mind, My home...
Promise A Binding Gift
Promise : A Binding Gift A promise sacred in the giving, Powerful in the receiving. A bond commits To the unknowing future. Tendrils of the heart’s precious Fragility and strength, A promise once broken Must be mended. Visit Abbe athttp://www.abberolnick.com to share...
What Color Am I?
Color me white with hope Nothing pure, The left-over spots that peak Through foliage Of greens, browns, and oranges I’m the sparkle, That glistens off the icy edges, Where snow prints Mark my passage. Or the cloud puff In a blue sky Soft and billowy As the wind...
Puzzled
Why do I exist, In this place and time? Besides the birds and the bees I look within the changing trees. No questions asked. Arms of wood reach to the sky Barks and rings measure time I breath in and release My energy Where does it go? Who do I serve? Beyond myself My...
FOCUS FUZZY THOUGHTS

About Abbe
Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age 15 when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. Once Stateside, she capitalized on the knowledge she gained as an independent bookstore owner and worked for one of the finest bookstores, Village Books, in Bellingham, Washington. Once a CEO of a manufacturing firm and owner of a healthy foods café, she is now retired and spends her time writing.
