‘MY CHILD’S RECOVERY FROM A FALL” A Poem By Mike Cohen

Mike Cohen, a poet, story
teller, and novelist returns to the NESTER with a new poem, My Child’s Recovery From a Fall, previously unpublished.  It fascinates us that each of Mike’s  poems is dramatically different from the others and this poem is no exception.  My Child’s Recovery From a Fall dwells on what might happen when a child lets go of the parent’s hand and climbs on monkey bars, first rides a bike without training wheels or dashes off on her own into the unknown. There’s always risk involved.  Most of the writing about children’s accidents centers on the child’s experience and what is the appropriate response from the parent. Less is written about what the parent is experiencing during the event.  

We resonate with this poem and so will you!

Mike’s poems, short stories and novel excerpts have appeared in several literary magazines. In addition to writing award winning short stories selected for publication, his stories have been anthologized and reviewed. Mike also authored a coming of age, legal thriller, RIVERTOWN HEROES, set in the Northwest.

A CHRISTMAS DAY GREETING – From Lorelie & Tim Wishing You a Christmas Season Filled With Joy

A long time ago what we  celebrate at this time of year began as bonfires on all the hills to bring “light” to a dark world and the story of a child, the “light” of the world.

These events are still the center of the way we celebrate the season.  The carols, the Christmas trees, traditions,  concerts, the gatherings of friends and family, and the quiet times for reading and meditation.  All of these harken back to the lighted hills on the darkest night and the birth of Jesus and his message of kindness and hope for the future.   

We wish you a joyful Christmas Day!
Lorelie & Tim
