“STEPSISTER” – A Poem by Nan Harty about the moon and the sun

Leave a Comment / ARCHIVES, CONTRIBUTING WRITERS, FEATURED POSTS /

A hearty welcome to you and to a poem from Nan Harty about the sun and the moon.  Only visible from Antartica, the “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse darkened the sun on February 17.  Nan’s poem references a solar eclipse in the first line of “Stepsister” and then opened my  imagination to thoughts that were previously not there.  Ah, that’s what poetry does!  Opens doors to new insights and perspectives. Do read the poem!

“DEEP CLEANING” – A POEM BY CATHY ROSS

Leave a Comment / ARCHIVES, CONTRIBUTING WRITERS, FEATURED POSTS /

A new year often brings thoughts of “putting away” what is in the past and “making plans” for what might be added in the coming months.  Cathy Ross’s new poem, DEEP CLEANING is a fine fit for this time of year.  Except, of course, Cathy’s poems have something added to the “usual” emptying of drawers to make room for more stuff! Enjoy the poem!

“HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: MEMORIES FROM LORELIE’S EARLY SCRAPBOOKS”

1 Comment / ARCHIVES, FEATURED POSTS, WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY /

I invite you to join Tim & me on a trip down “Memory Lane . . .”. Join us as we linger over photographs from early scrapbooks that bring feelings of nostalgia, gratitude, and seasonal joy.

I’ll begin with with my childhood before Tim entered the picture and when my dad, Fred, took all the photographs – lots of them!

“BLUE CHRISTMAS” A Poem by Nan Harty

Leave a Comment / ARCHIVES, CONTRIBUTING WRITERS, FEATURED POSTS /

You are invited to read Nan Harty’s “Blue Christmas”, a poem with special meaning for this time of year.  Giving and receiving gifts has always been an important part of Christmas. Nan’s poem reminds me that the significance of “giving” includes, perhaps at its best, acts of “kindness” and  gifts that are not reciprocal.

“HEARTH” A POEM BY CATHY ROSS

1 Comment / ARCHIVES, CONTRIBUTING WRITERS /

Welcome to a new poem from Cathy Ross! The poem is a  perfect fit for the late fall. Right now strong winds and rain are splattering the skylight above my desk. The past few evenings, Lorelie and I have reminisced about memorable storms we have experienced over the years.

After a first reading, this poem invites you to read it aloud. We were recently at Cathy’s and David’s for lunch and conversation and she read the poem to us. We are pleased to share this poem with you!
