Greetings, friends – and Happy Easter!
Thank you, again, for walking the Lenten road with me. I know the blog has been a bit heavy for the past six weeks, so we’re keeping it rather light this week. Besides, we have an extra cause to be merry:
National Poetry Month!
TWO extra causes, actually.
Tomorrow, April 27th, marks the first anniversary of my first poetry collection!
To celebrate this double header, we are offering a special deal:
The ebook of Songs in the Gate is available for only 99 CENTS through 11:59 PM on Monday.

Here’s the first poem from the collection to whet your whistle. I was privileged to read this poem at the Starr Library’s 2nd Annual Poetry Exhibit this month:
Montgomery Place – Again
Why, pray, should only Woe and Angst find voice
In art, and Peace be left without a say?
The muse forsakes the mouth that dares rejoice
Tranquility is oft denied its day
For Fear and Loss are symphonies profound
Desire is a tempest, vibrant-hued
But sweet Contentment breathes without a sound
And dwells in light, by no shadow imbued
Such depth of rest deserves a deeper beauty
A scene preserved from years that rend and clutch
Perhaps a poet, love-bound to her duty
Might paint with words what words just fail to touch
Oh, let my verse, for Silence, language be:
A living altar to Serenity
Amen to your poem.
One of my favorites!!! Needs to be known far and wide!!!!!!!!!!!
