I wrote some maze poems in my just released book: Paw Learning Mazes. There are thirty-four mazes, which are parts of eight maze poems:
"Mazes of Learning Maze"
"Dogs Helping with the Writing Process Mazes"
"Cats Grading Essays Mazes"
"Ethos, Logos, and Pathos Maze"
"Dancing Political Fingers and Paws Mazes"
"A STEM Dream about an Egret Mazes"
"Spying on the Paws of Life Mazes"
"Hissing for Free Space Mazes"

Cat Grammar Mazes

I love to think about grammar, writing, revision, and my cats. My cats often help me while I'm writing by purring, talking, head bumping my feet, jumping onto my desk, etc. The pictures here are two of the "Cat Grammar Mazes" on pages 63 and 66 of Paw Dream Mazes. The picture on the right side of this blog page is one example of some of the maze poems that I'll be giving away for free at my upcoming author events.

Christmas Cover Design for Amazing Holiday Paws

The maze poem on page 61 of Amazing Holiday Paws, which is in the photo in this blog entry, is a part of the maze poem called "A Maze Poem: Multimodal Poetry on World Poetry Day (March 21)." This maze poem's use of picture frames was the inspiration for the cover design for Amazing Holiday Paws.
Often while I'm writing, I notice a part of one poem, novel, or picture may work for another poem, novel, or picture. I love writing because I often notice additional other things to think about and to write about.

Amazing Christmas Pets

Getting ready for Christmas can be an amazing maze. My cats love to play with Christmas items, including climbing inside of Christmas trees; they also love to help me while I'm wrapping presents for family members. The two cats on the right side of this blog entry are two of my current cats helping to wrap presents. The cat in the picture on the left side of this blog was one that I rescued more than twenty years ago. He was very cute, but a wild kitten that kept jumping around. More pictures of this wild polydactyl cat are in the maze poem "Polydactyl Reality and Dreams Mazes" on pages 135-41 of Paw Dream Mazes.

Thankful for Maze Poem Ideas

I'm so thankful for being able to create maze poems. They are a lot of fun to write and then to design. I begin by writing a poem that I know will also be in a maze-poem version. Once the poem's words are finished, then I create the maze version. Sometimes, I go back and forth in order to change some of the words and parts of the maze version. The picture in this blog posting is my first maze that I created. It's on page one of Holidays Amaze. Sometimes at my author events, I also give away copies of this maze to people.

Maze Blog: Robin Likes Mazes

Robin, a Flamepoint Siamese cat, is one of my three cats, and he won being on the cover design of Paw Dream Mazes. He loves the mazes of his life in a home that's created for cat happiness.
I rescued Robin when he was just a kitten. He's a Flamepoint Siamese cat. He's still acting like a wild kitten on some days. Robin is named after Batman's son, so his wildness is sometimes really great!
On other days, he sits in my lap and purrs. He's also a talker and often tries to tell me things. Yes, I sometimes understand his cat language, such as when he asks for his food while I'm cooking my food.
