Happy Sunday, everyone! This is the first month in which I’ve decided to have a theme to my poems that I post daily on Twitter. Since it’s May and the month of spring flowers, I decided to share a new flower each day with the prompt word from our hashtag poetry group. The result is…

Perspectives of nature
Happy Sunday, everyone! 💚 This week I’d like to share a poem that was inspired by a real event and literally took place the day I penned it. My mother recently told me that great tragedies in life often inspire the greatest literature. Writers, have you discovered this to be true? On a normal day…
Upon these waves true and tried
Happy Sunday, fellow poets of life! Sometimes my poems reflect my heart and feelings transferred into words on the page. At other times, as in the poem that I’d like to share with you today, they tell a story. As a fiction writer, I naturally gravitate towards writing stories and I’ve enjoyed slipping them into…
The bridge from me to you

The love-sent message of the stars

You are immensely loved
In a summer meadow, sunflowers bask in the open air Under cerulean skies wave the golden heads of joy A light breeze tickles the grassy hill about them Bright yellow dandelions shudder and dance In fields of wild green grass Burgundy poppies dot the landscape nearby in fields of red Emerald hills go on forever…
Our little havens of rest
We would often find ways to escape In our imaginations that served us well And found places to hide away When the waves of life would ebb and swell As we held on tightly to each other Words and stories of comfort we’d tell These storms will eventually pass, we’d say Before any plight to…
