Rationale

Having semi-retired from my career in Accounting, now I have time to enjoy my writing hobby. I thought it would be nice to attach poems or anecdotes to some of my holiday or pet photos. I have recently joined a Creative Writing Group, so I am also hoping to improve my writing techniques with a view to publishing some novelty books. To protect myself from having my own name plastered all over Google whenever I submit any poems or stories to another website, I now write under my pseudonym of Jezebel Myschka. I have had work published under the name of JM in various websites and ezines, including poemhunter.com, helium.com, thefirstline.com and was featured in 2012 Fall edition of clevermag.com.

Doggy Ditties and Siamese Tails

I have kept pets all my life – lots of them, and sometimes in large numbers. Starting with a black kitten I had for my sixth birthday, followed by a green budgie when I was thirteen, I have never been without a pet, and can’t imagine my life without one. Over the years I have kept an assortment of cats, starting with moggies and moving on to Siamese cats. Once you’ve had a Siamese, that’s it. No other type of cat is going to fill that space in your heart! My last Siamese cat was quite a character, and inspired my “Siamese Tails” which I wrote several years ago as a series of letters from my cat to my Mother’s dog.

 Although I’ve lived with other breeds of dogs, when I first had an Alsation I fell irrevocably in love with that breed. Once in love with a German Shepherd, as they are now called, I don’t think there is any going back. I am obsessed by them! I cannot pass one in the street without stopping to admire it. My latest two girls inspired my “Doggy Ditties”. I hope you enjoy reading the stories and verses about my pets, as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them. 

West Country Tales
From my early childhood I have holidayed regularly in the West Country. North Cornwall scenery was my Mother’s favourite, and became mine too. Almost every other year I get a burning desire to return to what feels like my second home. Having several pets, in the past it made more sense to buy a caravan and holiday in the UK where we could take our pets with us. However, we also had our fair share of holidays in Devon and North Somerset. I have amassed many photos over the years of the scenery in the West Country, which conjure up some wonderful memories. Some have inspired me to wax lyrical.
