24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
I'm Diane and I live in Southern California with my partner, three dogs and one tabby cat. I'm a writer, working on a mystery novel, and I'm a poet, photographer and editor. I love birds and the natural world. I'm also a volunteer in wildlife advocacy, animal welfare and the arts.
I am the beginning,
the quiet one,
the reader,
the nature-child
I am the middle,
the striver,
the journalist,
the professional
I am the end,
the mystic,
the poet,
the crone
I am here,
the desert,
the mountains,
the sky
I am there,
the boat,
the castle,
the cobbled lane
I am forever.
the meadow,
the forest,
the sea
I am.
OK, everyone, I hope this is the right place to introduce myself and say how glad I am to be here.
I have been away from poetry for quite some time but it’s my first true love so I can’t wait to get reacquainted with it.
In preparation I have cleaned off my desk and decorated “my” room with plants and twinkly lights. I have notebooks and a journal at standby. Currently two of my dogs are snoozing on the bed. I think they want to be part of my half-marathon.
I’ve told my partner that Saturday is reserved for my half-marathon effort and that I won’t accept any social plans. I’ve joined the Facebook group and I’m sooooo psyched. Can’t wait to meet many of you. Thank you!
