Customer Reviews for Chortle Blossoms:
"Debby's delightful poems are creations from her own life experiences. Her passion and unique talent as a true
word-smith, along with her wit and charm, make these creations a joy to read...and re-read." - Judy McCracken
"I've been swapping poetry with Debby at open-mike events and poetry salons for a long time. As artists and
friends, we share these venues, but short of a one-person performance (rare in poetry), it is hard to get a
full taste of another writer's work. A chapbook provides that chance, and Chortle Blossoms is such an occasion.
I always find myself captured somewhere, joyously and irreverently, in Debby's work (this time in Bad Aim). I also
got a glimpse in Spring into Summer of a younger, more impressionable, but still recognizable Debby I had
never met when we both started writing in the 60's. Thank you, Debby. I always enjoy being your
audience." - Jabez W. (Bill) Churchill, fellow poet
"It's true! She's a "perpetrator of humorous verse!" Thus, if you wish to chortle, snort, chuckle and
guffaw, I suggest you peruse Chortle Blossoms. There you will find life laughing at itself, giving us a respite
from the oh so serious busyness of date books and to do lists. Thank you, Debby." - Lin Marie deVincent, fellow poet
"Chortle Blossoms is a delightful romp through the author's fertile imagination, as she looks at things
in her life (and ours) from mosquitoes to obituaries, with humor and honesty. Debby's poems reveal a love of
language and keen wit, while giving us her clever perspectives on people and events in everyday life." - Pam Traver
"I keep my copy of Chortle Blossoms on my bedside table, and open it up and read a few poems when
I've had a bad day. This always cheers me up!" - Jeanne Campbell
