Meet Up With Marge Merrill aka WordFaery ~ A SplashHall Poetry Poet

My name is Marge Merrill, aka WordFaery. I'm a life-long resident of western New York state and share a home with two humans and three dozen teddy bears. I've worked in the long term care field for over 25 years, first as a care-giver and then in administrative positions.

I've been writing stories since I was 12 and after being turned off by poetry in high school, rediscovered verse in 1999. I joined my first internet poetry group, SplashHall Poetry in 2002 and got hooked on free verse. In addition to having my performance poetry aired on BZoO HomeGrown Radio, I also help out in production . I might even fall victim to Rg's arm twisting and do my own show on BZoO soon.

In 2005 I completed my first spoken word CD "eclectic," a fun collection that includes a (true, I swear) short story about camping. Current projects include "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," an audio book to be released in early October and "Playgrounds" another spoken word poetry collection which I hope to have ready around Thanksgiving.

Another labor of love under construction is my website www.wordfaery.com Click on over to SplashHall Poetry Forums and say hi to Marge.
