Snapshots: A poetic collection of everyday moments

About this ebook
A collection of poems for women about the everyday moments we experience during the hum drum of everyday life, Motherhood, relationships, and much more.
Exerpt:
ZUMBA
A delightful hum shivers up her legs
As she sways her hips seductively
And throws her arms gleefully up into the air
A wide open space
Just for her
Pulsing with a fast Latin beat
Where her feet are free to do as they please
Though not as graceful as some
She still feels beautiful and sexy
As sweat trickles down
Into her unfocused eyes
Dampening her raggedy t-shirt
Jill Marie Baker
Ms. Baker grew up on military bases and joined the Army straight out of high school. She then went on to earn a BS in Early Childhood with a Minor in Criminal Justice. She held a number of jobs afterward working with teenage parents, juvenile delinquents, and homeless families. She earned an MS in Administrative Studies during that period. THEN she became a wife and mother - and it changed her life. Her husband currently owns a children's music business and she has been lucky enough to be a part of it for over ten years. Ms. Baker resides in Sioux Falls, SD with her husband and two sons.
