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!

The Love Poem

--It’s on my mind and you need to know--
floating and fluttering as on a gentle breeze,
like a butterfly’s wings in perfect harmony,

--Sinking and rising like a ship lost at sea--
lots of blue water swirling up high,
mountainous waves splashing nearby,

--Rolling and turning so fast in a frenzy--
riding in a topsy turvy roller-coaster train,
falling really fast then up and down again,

--All and every one of these things--
they are what I felt from the very start,
this is what your love did to my heart.
