This is a collection of poems I've assembled. I am thrilled and grateful that Finishing Line Press is helping me to share them. They are easy to read--I can't stand poetry that I can't understand (sounds like a personal problem, right?)
Here's the link:
These are meant to be read aloud--they are what I did with those humorous, moving everyday moments of insight that happen when you're not looking.
Here's a short example:
Sad lark.
There is nothing in the sky
to be afraid of.
I have seen so much
I don’t understand.
The sun rises anyway.
Let’s sit and talk about it:
Plates will keep our
knives and forks apart
for generations after me,
and my children will grow to
understand as little as
I do. Comedy will spill
out of the ordinary,
and comfort, comfort,
will mean more and more
to me. It is only sadness that
frightens me. Everything
else that’s hurt me
has been a surprise.
The Spanish Edition is now available on Amazon!
Thanks to the generosity of Children's Specialized Hospital.
And this--please look to the right--is just an idea at this point, but why not?
