Such a lovely window you've given us to look out upon those nocturnal creatures. Captivating poem Jenny, so well composed, and one I will read again.

Beautiful words, a wistful, poetic journey from seed to produce- the joy of the first bread, baked from the first grains sown- A time to every season.

I like the way you start,
Posted on Sun, 01 Aug 2021

Well constructed poem Jenny. The moon’s influence poetically described in the phase of the July Buck Moon named by the Algonquin Tribe for the new antlers that Buck's grow during this season. I enjoyed how you begin with the Buck changing in the...

Love this introspective piece
Posted on Thu, 22 Jul 2021

I've just read your lovely
Posted on Thu, 01 Jul 2021
I've just read your lovely poem and you do have a talent whipping words into vivid expression that takes us on your journey. I stood on the hill and felt the winds that swayed the wheat fields and watched the colors of the day curious too of...

All that was - all that could
Posted on Tue, 29 Jun 2021
All that was - all that could have been - all that sadly is. I loved this poem with its under the earth occupants literally turning in their graves. Can only wish Merlin finds that magic bone and waves off a few of these false kings.- not much...
