Jean Elaine (Carter) Fuller's Poems

I enjoy writing and so did my mom. She liked to write highly contextual poetry. It described events in her life and in the lives of those she loved. Most of the poems were written during the late sixties. Granted, her poems have more meaning to those who knew her. She past away in November of 1982 and has been missed by scores of people (especially me).

Jean's poems

  She didn't title or date this work, but that's what it's about!

  A humorous look at marketing promises.

  The struggles of a poet's inspiration.
• Who?
  A tribute to mothers.

  The name says it all. It was the worst winter in decades.
