NaPoWriMo: Refuges
Feet beat hot pavement An aimless walk to nowhere An endless journey Sun-scorched flesh blisters Sweat slithers a nasty trail Brutal discomfort No, we can’t stop here My words provoke raspy cries From parched hungry mouths Doors barred against us Fearful eyes stare watchfully Willing us to leave Poor unwanted babes Innocence lost with each… More NaPoWriMo: Refuges
Happy Poetry Writing Month!
It’s April and that means NaPoWriMo is upon us. National Poetry Writing Month is a month-long challenge to write a new poem each day. I’ve dabbled in poetry here and there, but I’ve never participated in NaPoWriMo. Will I be able to write a new poem every single day for the next thirty days? Time… More Happy Poetry Writing Month!

I will not go with the ferryman
Originally posted on Jane Dougherty Writes:
I will not go with the ferryman, Into the endless night, Nor touch the dust grey shores, Where shades linger grieving. I will not listen to the clinking of silver, And the whispering of the dead, Rattling the brown reeds, rustling the fallen leaves. I will turn my back…

I #AmWriting
If someone asked me, I’d tell them I haven’t written anything in three months, but that isn’t entirely true. I haven’t written as much as I would like. I haven’t worked on the projects I feel I should be working on. But I’ve written. (A little.) To tell you the truth, I’ve been down on… More I #AmWriting

Your Vote Counts
My feet are still hurting from pounding the pavement Saturday and Sunday. For the first time in my life, I went door-to-door canvassing for the candidate I support. My door-knocking partner has been canvassing since before I was born. Such dedication makes me feel terribly guilty that I haven’t done my part before. I’ve been… More Your Vote Counts
