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!

Here at this house..

There are too many memories-here at this house..
Voices floating softly through the halls
Sweet smells so near, someone-I could touch;
Here in the air, so still, I can feel my heart beating
As I sit thinking of you, it’s almost-too much.

There are so many memories-here at this house..
Laughter filled the air, with happiness and love
It seems so far away, if only-I could just concentrate;
I could live it again, feel the breath on my chest
Swooning lightly in the joy, knowing-it’s not too late.

Are there too many memories-here at this house??
Every single inch reminds me of a lifetime ago
I am told to start over again-and put it all away;
But I had more joy than pain, this is what I need
These are all of my memories-and here I will stay.
