Hello and welcome to Patty's playpen! This page offers samples of my writing, including poetry and short stories. I hope to update this page frequently, so please visit often.  You would be doing me a great favor if you could send me a short e-mail to let me know what you think of my work. Criticism and complements are accepted equally and gratefully.

Friends, both new and old are always welcome.

Here are some poems I composed. These writings strip my soul naked, but what's a little nudity between friends?

POEMS

These are some ultra-short stories including mysteries, current issues, love stories, and even a little horror story.  I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.

SHORT STORIES

Pattys-playpen is a member of several Webrings. These rings provide magical links to imaginative and beautiful writing from other writers.
