OK, so technically, we’re in the third week of April. Bear with me here, because I’m running a tad behind (between pregnancy brain and mothering a toddler, this Momma-Bear is tired!), and anyway, you can’t rush art! Here’s a collection of poems and lyrics for my second National Poetry Month installment, appropriately themed for Holy Week…

Well, I am a week late posting these, but better late than never, right?! Actually, now that I’ve entered the third trimester of pregnancy we had a few preterm labor scares earlier this month, and I honestly just wasn’t feeling poetic or bloggy. Thankfully, the baby is safe, I am healthy (albeit dreadfully uncomfortable), and we’re…

I lost about six months of work, and my computer was shipped off to the manufacturer for repairs. So … that rather…

I haven’t really written any new songs or material since my second trimester. I guess building a little person sucked up all my creativity! Now Elowyn is 7 months old, and I am finally to a place where I’m feeling my artistic inspiration coming back. Since April is National Poetry Month, I’ve decided to challenge…

Behold! A poem that came to me this afternoon as I ate my lunch: This is a ballad that is all about salad; It rhymes about carrots, and not about ferrets, Its lyrics beset us with lines about lettuce It inanely prattles about grapes, nuts, and apples, It lilts about beans and lush collard greens…
