This blog is a time capsule for my poetry. I am a singer-songwriter by trade, but poetry has been my hobby since I was a teenager studying English lit in my homeschool curriculum. Abeka gave me a swath of poetry from which guided my ear for rhythm and verse and the interplay of syllables within lines, as well as the NKJ version of the Bible. A poetry course at Berklee in Boston urged me out of traditional forms and I am guided by a need to rhyme and the story itself as to what I write.

My Happy Dance
My vision blazes into the rush
Colors blush feverishly
on the cheeks of flowers
who do smile as gaily as I.
I wear a dress of white cotton
with light pink flowers embroidered on the hem.
Dance comes naturally,
at variance
A knee-lift, toe-touch, step-together:
Jig of joy!
Blessings
There is sunshine
It emblazons golden light on green shrubbery
and incandesces the latitudes of my grin
Chirruping surrounds my ears
in the language of delight
Euphoria is my name
and this is my happy dance.
