My Poetry

I started this blog so I could neatly archive my work. You should find my poetry very diverse. I would like to believe there is something here for almost everyone.

It was only recently that I became interested in poetry. I started taking care of my mother after she suffered a stroke and we began writing stories and poems together. It has been very therapeutic for us both.

This isn't a complete collection of my poetry, my first poems I self published under the moniker, A Pet Banana Production. The first self published book, "A Pet Banana" is a rhyme/story about colors and the second is a collection of poetry I created with my mother titled, "An Elephant is On My House." I hope you enjoy my writing and I would love a visit to my author page!
Thanks!

A Witch's Heart

Young and old
Time be told,
A witch’s heart
A scarecrow’s soul,
Button it up
Cotton so thin
Stuff that straw
All the way in,
Painted eye
Hair of rye
A life is born
Field of corn,
Made by a witch
Stitch by stitch,
Brought to life
To be his wife,
It has been told
When it got cold
From her sire
She pulled dry straw
To light her fire!
