Hey, look at that!

I’m a guest again today!  Kevin Morris is hosting me today as well, and you can find out all about some of my favorite poetry by heading over to his blog.  Poke around a little while you’re there – he’s got some fascinating stuff there, including spots by other authors, information about his own work, and all kinds of fun stuff. 🙂

I’m a guest!

Today I’m hanging out with the wonderful Jane Dougherty and talking about poetry (in verse form, even).  You can find my post here, so stop by and check it out!  Don’t forget to have a look around the site – Jane’s got some wonderful posts up, including a series of one-sentence stories, a series of poems for National Poetry Month, and information on how and where you can find her books in The Green Woman series!

I’m a guest!

Chris Graham, aka the Story Reading Ape, was kind enough to feature me on his blog today, where I talk a little bit about my writing goals.  I hope you’ll stop by and check it out, and don’t forget to check out some of the other things he’s got posted!  His site is a virtual treasure trove for writers. 🙂

One of the things I love to read in the spring (yes, there are a couple of them) is my collection of Shakespearean sonnets.  I don’t know why, but poetry and spring are inextricably linked for me (which works out well, since April is National Poetry Month).

Though I love the plays, the sonnets are the thing for me.  I’m terrible at writing them, but Shakespeare was a master wordsmith and every time I open this book, I marvel at his ability.  I actually have two collections of his sonnets – the volume pictured is a complete collection, while the one it replaced contained only selected poems – and I treasure them both.

If you like Shakespeare’s poetry, might I recommend this site?  I found it the other afternoon and it’s got loads of neat stuff.  Spend a day getting lost in it, or perhaps another book.  Have a great day! 🙂

2015-03-03 17.59.19I love the beauty
Of a warm spring day, but I
Loathe the allergies

That always come with
It.  I feel like death warmed o’er,
And I look the same.

‘Tis such a pity
That all I want to do this
Glorious day is

Curl up under
The covers and sleep till I
Feel human again.
