Taken by the Wind ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

She let the wind take her

Particles of life drifting in the air

Like the sands of time, shaping her

Bending her, into the breeze

Caressing, every element

Breathing new life, resurrecting

Rejuvenating, reclaiming

What once had grown old

Friday Fantasy ~ Unsuspecting – #poetry #Halloween

Tags

Perched up high, upon a branch

In the forest, dark and scary

The owl waits for his next prey

Though his mistress, quite contrary

She sits inside, in black of night

By the window, where she eyes

Creatures scurrying about the grass

And much to her surprise

One comes closer, just enough

So the door, she opens wide

Watches as it makes its way

Unsuspecting, now inside

The cauldron boils and bubbles

As the witch begins to chortle

“Trick or treat, my tasty one

It’s time for my nightly mortal”

Shining above the Glistening Crescent

Smiling down upon the Moon so Young

Venus and Mars Glimmer, Effervescent

Aligned with the Twilight, Carefully Hung

It’s My Blog-iversary! I’m 4 years old :)

Good morning, everyone!!

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has helped make this blog successful.  I can’t imagine what it would be like without the many friendships I have made (and more to come) these past four years.  I never dreamed it would be this cool   🙂

When I started this blog, I was actually reporting on current events, until I decided it was time to release some of my poetry.  Scared doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt.  But the WordPress community welcomed me with open arms.  It is truly an amazing feeling!  Because of your support, I was able to publish nine poetry books, with number 10 coming shortly.  I couldn’t have done it without you.

So, here’s to you, my friends, and to many years ahead.  Once again, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart   ❤
