I have been writing in ernest for over thirty years. I was blessed to be published in various small press poetry journals and anthologies such as Lucidity, Midwest Poetry Review, Parnassus Literary Journal and The Inspirational Poet. My biography appears in the Eighth and Ninth editions of The International Who's Who Of Poets and Poet's Cyclopedia. I was blessed to compete at a poetry convention and be awarded a publishing contract in August of 2003. This is my writer's resume but it does not tell about how writing is the heart and soul of me. I would write if no one saw or read my poetry because I love to express myself with the written word. I just plain love to write.
The notes waft upon the wind,
throbs of my fast-beating heart
pulsing to the tune of your caress.
I am floating on a whisper,
...
The air is crisp with autumn promise,
fills the senses with the smoky scent
of a fired-up wood burning stove.
A woodland fairy dances past us
...
Do you hear the sounds?
Ghosts dancing on the wind.
Cold breath forming a halo
...
In the deep star-dotted sky,
the witch of the Red Moon
lays down inside its crescent shape
and sways to the tune of her heart.
...
Another birthday, another feather
How amazing the span of wings and years.
How beautiful each feather becomes
when cast into the gleam of a beaming Son.
