Periodic poetry sharing as the mood strikes me. Free verse is my friend. xoA. Monday, October 10, 2016. 2016 OctPoWriMo – #9. Springy as a nest of Slinkys. A testament to the patience. A bow to the wills. Of Black mamas bound for church. Today’s prompt was "Spiral." Between a recent video I saw, and a line I used in a short memoir piece, this poem emerged. Links to this post. Poets on the Page. 2016 OctPoWriMo – #8. Her light filters through the cloth of kindness. Her love, a beacon, draws you near.

Periodic poetry sharing as the mood strikes me. Free verse is my friend. xoA. Friday, December 27, 2013. I Believe in Love. I Believe in Love. I believe in love’s power.

Sticks and stones breaking bones. Throwing up a shield. Links to this post. Poets on the Page. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I Believe in Love.

My mother clutched her purse, stood to leave for home. 8220;You can’t drive yourself,” the kindly clerk said. 8220;The hell I can’t! 8220;Which one do you like? None of us knew.
