What follows is a small collection of the accumulated poetry and prose of a loving and creative person's life - someone who has played many roles: not only Mother, Wife, and Artist but also 'character' and 'nut'. This is a person we adore - her name is Dorothy Polley Ringsrud (DPR).

. The golden ribbon of My love, Tangles up your life, It streams around
your Pretty limbs. It flows in Streams of light, Which you cannot Seem to see It's only me -- In my golden haze. Hoping it will last, Years instead of
days. 1997 Denver,Colorado Tangled Ribbons by Dorotht Polley Ringsrud wins the
Denver Post Poetry Contest and gets published
nationally. I have to tell you, re-typing this poem word by word was
a revelation! I cannot think of a more profound and timeless
poem! RR
