Watch as Mother Nature welcomes back, to see

The budding of flowers, and leaves, upon a tree

The harmony we hear, from the buzzing of a bee

Springtime brings new hope, I think you’d agree

What Amazon Says:

Human being has the will power to travel through an exhausting journey, win a tough battle, and heal a deep wound. Strength from hope keeps us going until the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight and striving until the storm is over.

Hurdle in her poetry collection includes themes of personal experiences in nature, difficult relationship, cancer treatment, marriage, parenthood, remembrance, reflection and inspiration. She reveals the honest self-talk and reflects a heart filled with optimism, faith and trust. She loves music, photography and watercolor painting and includes photos and paintings to complement the poems.

My Review:

“Songs of Heartstrings – Poems of Gratitude and Beatitude” is a most enjoyable book of poetry.  Told in the first person, Miriam Hurdle takes you along on her many journeys, in the ups and downs, of life.  I particularly enjoyed the photos, placed before many of the poems.  It brought me closer to what Miriam was relaying in her words.

My favorite poem is “Life’s Currents”.  Here, the author reminds us we are never alone, no matter the hardships we might face in our time here on Earth.  There is no doubt Miriam has a strong faith and relies on it for many of life’s obstacles.

The book is broken up into eight different sections, making it a very pleasant read.  Miriam uses different styles of poetry, so you’re never just reading.  She easily gets and keeps your attention throughout.  If you are looking for a poetry book filled with inspiration, and thought provoking passages, this is the book for you.  I highly recommend this to any and every one, as I thoroughly enjoyed reading “Songs of Heartstrings – Poems of Gratitude and Beatitude”.

I purchased the book in Kindle, and it also available in paperback from Amazon.

The Darkness is My Hope ~ #poetry

#poetry, calm, cope, darkness, dorindaduclos.com, Hope, life, Night Owl Poetry, panic, poems, shout, writing

Dedicated to all who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks.  I feel your pain…


My body shivers, at times, it quakes

Hour upon hour, never ending

I think, this must be a grave mistake

And life plays its game, quite offending

I try to be calm, breath in and out

But nothing is working for me

All I really want to do is to shout

Allowing the darkness to break free

But the darkness is my only hope

It comforts me, right to my core

Helping me find the right way to cope

When I’m wondering, what it’s all for
