She lets me know when she is near
Her footsteps in the hallway, clear
Doors that open when no one’s home
She always knows when I’m alone
And yes, at times, she’ll find a tree
As a cardinal, there to comfort me
Her song so sweet, to my own ear
My guardian angel, forever dear

I write in a genre
Oft misunderstood
I’ve tried to explain it
The best that I could
These aren’t just words
That float in my head
They are my soul
Releasing instead
The passion inside me
Pounding deep in my heart
I am a writer, a poet
And my words I impart
On all who will listen
This is my true devotion
Flowing out from within
Like my endless emotion

Hello everyone!!
I woke up this morning, which is definitely a great thing, signed into WordPress, and my jaw dropped! Over 3000 followers and over 200,000 views! I’m at a loss for words. Can you believe it?!
All kidding aside, I cannot thank you enough for sticking with me over these last four years. Your encouragement through tough times, your compassion when I was able to express those times through my poetry, and of course, your friendship, is the reason I am still sharing my poetry. This is a community of wonderful people, able to share stories, relate life experiences and yes, become friends outside of WordPress. I am proud to be a member of this group!
Thank you, again, so much, for making my day that much brighter and so much fuller than I could imagine on my own!
Love to all
~Dorinda

What lies in wait, ethereal, shimmers
That send chills up and down your spine
Masked by sunlight’s colorful prism
She blends with the tree, so divine
Moving about, in perfect symmetry
Each thread, woven with expertise
A spinneret, is all she requires
As she patiently waits, by the trees
To capture that which she can enjoy
Poor moth, his death is most certain
By the simple thread of a spider’s trap
On his life, she has closed the curtain
