February: Day Fifteen

Seeing a tulip bloom

on my windowsill

in mid-February

is like

seeing the sun

come out

after a week

of rain

Such a beautiful flower. And it's always nice to remember there will be sunshine after the rain.

About My Poetry

It wasn't until the forced isolation of the pandemic that I began to explore writing poetry with dedicated effort. To my surprise and delight, several poems that emerged from that time went on to win honors and awards in international poetry competitions throughout 2021 and 2022. A small collection of my work was a top five winner in the 2022 Oprelle Masters Poetry Competition, while individual poems earned awards and honors in the Bigger Than Me and Coming Home Competitions, The Prime 53 Poetry Competition, and the Vivian Shipley Award. In 2023, I published my first poetry chapbook, The Brook in the Woods Behind Our Old House, which is available on Amazon.
