OMG....I really did it!

Well, folks, believe it or not, I'm now a PUBLISHED POET....there's an honest to goodness book with a wide selection of my poetry, available for purchase now on amazon.com. The book is called HEARTBREAK AND HAPPINESS, and it's available here. Not big on self-promotion, but it would just thrill me to pieces if people were to actually buy this! :)

Lost

This post is written from a prompt, provided here:

4.) Write a poem inspired by the word "Loss".

Thinking of all I've lost in my life:

People, relationships, emotions.

Knowing I can never get it back again.

Wondering what I would do differently if I could.

Still

*Haiku Friday is hosted by LouCeel

Still

She still remembers

The soft color of his eyes

That gazed in her soul.

She still remembers

The sweet sound of the voice which

Whispered "Forever."

She still remembers

The soft touch of his fingers

Making her tremble.

She still remembers

The promise he made--that she'd

Be his everything.

She'll never forget

The day he walked away and

Took her heart with him.

Settling

Take what you can get

Remembering what once was

Nothing will compare

Limerick

#3- Write a limerick.

There once was a man named Osama

Who rode on a camel, not llama

He lived there in the sand

Somewhere in Pakistan

And laughed every day at Obama.

Hurricane

Windblown trees bend down

Trying to kiss ground below

When will peace return?

Radiant

*Haiku Friday is hosted by LouCeel

Glowing like the sun

Joy and happiness are shown

In the smile she wears.
