I wanted to update all of you on the release of my Poetry Collection, "Running on Fumes", which will be available starting the third week of this January.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all of you who have offered your friendship, encouragement and support during a difficult year and helping me to keep focused on my work; it has meant a great deal to me.

With much love, gratitude and many well wishes for a Happy New Year to all!

Alicia Winski



~Running on Fumes~

Fine lines define
this road map etched
upon my face.

A highway of information
stored around each and every turn.

The single, thin line
I started out on
mistakingly thinking

“This is going to be
a fast paced ride …”

Was often slow …
… and tortuous

My country roads so small and fine,
delicately merging onto a street
littered with ‘Stop’ and ‘Go’

and I’ve run many a stop sign

The main thorough,
down a slick, fast-paced freeway,
so many exits to choose,
too many taken,
only after I’ve entered
the wrong ‘on ramp’
taking such a
heavy toll on me …

Yes,
it’s been a long drive,
consuming priceless
emotional fuel
and I wonder wearily …

How far can I go
before I run out of gas?

Wow...How wonderful for you...I wish you every success with your collection of Poetry...

Thank you Ainjel~xoxoxo

There you are!!! That is wonderful (((MsWiz))) ... Congratulations and much success!!! xoxo

Sending you all the support I can. Here's to record sales in 2010

Raw where have you been sunshine? I've missed you!!!

GorgeousGurl Ive missed YOU too!!!

David, you are a tremendous support and friend to me~

the lady of the lake is rising
just below the shimmering surface
as the rippling spikes of light
bounce into my eyes

beware this beautiful vixen
for she is as strong as she is delicate
and she can hew granite

as effortlessly, she wields, Excalibur



there is no education for this
how can you train the sun to become darkness?
clouds will blossom
truth will burn
grasses will reach toward heaven
in verdant aspiration
in springtime
a million blades
pointing to blue
where unimaginable mysteries live
and where we drift away

FLOWERS for the lovely and charming miss WIZ..
Author, publisher, single, talented, friend to all.......

She's 'Running On Fumes' up and down every street.
Watch-out boys and girls, she'll run over your feet.
Excited, and frantic. Her books complete, she's delighted.
Making her first stop, at club 'Mingle'.
Spreading her good fortune, she's in the jengle.........

Hey lady can ya spare a dime?
