About Me
Diana C. DuMoulin is an award winning poet. She has been recognized in competitions sponsored by Writer's Digest for "Flirtation," 1996 and "She Travels," l998 and by the Arizona State Poetry Society, "Family Storm," 2001. "My daughter Pat also had a winning poem in that contest, "Our First Kiss." Diana has published two books and used her website, Poetry-etc. to market them: "Ourselves in the Garden," a poetry chapbook, 1998 and "The Love Pad," a journal, 1996. Diana researched and wrote over 30 titles during her career as a market analyst ranging from articles to book-length reports. Diana earned a Certificate in Creative Writing from Phoenix College, Spring 2002. "I did my most creative work in marketing. I remember when the business community anticipated the personal computer; we analysts were asked to forecast supply and demand for products and markets that didn't yet exist."

The Story Behind My Site
Diana has returned to her youthful interest in music through her poetry. "I discovered music poetry when I wrote in response to musical pieces in poetry class. My poetry took a new turn when I realized I could connect two seemingly disparate art forms through their rhythms. Since then, I've been writing and exploring music poetry." Diana is currently enrolled in the music program at Phoenix College. Diana's poetry opera "Longing for You, Brazil" was produced at Phoenix College. Her poem "Flirtation," was staged by Phoenix company Big Damn Deal Productions in "She Rhythms." Several stories and poems from Diana's memoirs are posted on the Web and can be accessed from the Favorite Links page.
My Life by Diana C. DuMoulin
keep the Song of Songs at my bedside
nurture family with faith-hope-joy
nourish friends at my table
toss cosmic pumpkins into the stew
mix with surprising rhythm-makers
plant red climbers that conquer walls
when I die
my doctor will paint my body blue-yellow
my family will s c a t t e r my colors
nothing left
