Sneak Preview!

For those readers who may have been following my blog over the few months since September, you will know that I have been compiling a book that is my heart’s passion. The POD version is still a few weeks away, so as a Sneak Preview to my readers, I am offering the book in PDF format available from Gumroad, and listed under my Bookshelf Page.

Apologies to all our Friendship Tree poets, the editors have removed ALL referenced writing including the Friendship Tree. When I receive the EBook version in the next few days, I will be offering complimentary copies to the Friendship Tree poets and other previously referenced poets.

More about my book, it contains a few of my more popular posts, and a whole heap of exclusive writing, compiled to form a story of inspiration (based loosely on my life experiences). The design has been done by a dear friend of mine, the talented and beautiful Elizabeth Ferraris from Visible Ink design. We will be working on future collaborations together, including my second poetry book which is now underway.

If anyone would like to leave their thoughts on the content – I am welcoming comments on my Bookshelf page which can be found here: https://movingtowardsthelight.com/bookshelf/

Thank you so much!

Vonita.

Oak Tree

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Places.”

I would be
Under a tree
So I can sit in it’s shadow
Listening to the song of the birds
And the wind as it whispers its
Silent secrets softly
To me

Desperation

Young beautiful woman with depression

at what point does one not give up?
at what point does one persevere?
because I am out of ideas
I am out of kind requests
the path is unclear
I do not know
which way I
should
go

True Love

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

True love is when you would give your life for someone else
As many parents would do for their offspring
Anything else is merely affection

Fatigue

Portrait Of An Old Dog

Tiredness seeps into my every pore
After a life of being lost and
Not knowing where to turn
I lie down and allow
My eyes to close

Sudden Death

Candles

I heard my
Mother’s voice
During the week
Of an April past.
On the weekend
She was gone,
That is how
Very sudden
Death can be.

Mudbugs of the Sea

Live Lobster

Mudbugs of the sea
Lobsters in all their glory
Rainbow of colors surrounding their
Crustaceous anatomy
Appearing in blues, albinos, yellows and calicos
Phantom of the Opera wearing their masks of white
Make no meals for me

This is one of my initial poems that was deleted at some point
I am resurfacing it 🙂

Alphabet Tanka

alphabet

Twenty-six letters
In the alphabet but not
All of them are in
This poem I have written—
Titled Alphabet Tanka
