From the Foothills

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.

Hoping for a Little Rain

Written July15, 2025

And the dust began to fly

The wind came coolly blowing and we inside our shelter hid

We thought it would come a downpour

But it never did
