We interrupt this challenge to wish our friend and resident poet a very Happy Birthday!
Photography has added another dimension to Linda’s creativity and on her birthday card to me, she included a beautiful butterfly photo that she put together on the Walgreens site. Linda is an avid gardener and loves nature and much of what she writes about can be seen outside her kitchen window.
Her poems have appeared in several journals and anthologies and in Texas Poetry Calendar 2012, and Peace Words, A Poetry Collection to Commemorate the United Nations International Day of Peace, 2011.
I would like to share one of her poems with you…
WHAT IS BEAUTY?
A spider spun a siken web
of intricate design.
I marveled at the beauty
of each orb and whorl and line.
Sunlight caught the rainbows
in the sparkling drops of dew
and in the iridescent wings
of an insect caught there, too.
