A bit about the book

Noelle Harrison is a hard-working wife and loving mother to two young sons. Although supportive of her husband Wayne’s professional pursuits, she rails at his constant out-of-town travel to conferences and seminars. What about her needs and wants? Then one day on her way home from church… There are two sides to every story. Or maybe three.

Available on Amazon Kindle and Paperback

Pamela D. Beverly’s author bio simply makes me smile – I guess it’s her calling herself ‘The Jacqueline of all trades.’

I am a Jacqueline-of-all-Trades but a master of none. Mostly I’m a student of human nature that enjoys writing and studying mankind. I have traveled all over the United States as well as to several foreign countries and enjoy meeting people of all races, religions and creeds. My main wish for mankind is that we learn…

A little light hearted poem from my book for World Poetry Day.

Poetic Confusion

Tried to write a sonnet,
Was on it like a car bonnet.
But whatever I wrote
Every scribble and note,
Didn’t rhyme at the end
Drove me round the bend!

Tried a haiku,
What to do?
Five, seven, five
Yet still I strive
To work it out,
I have my doubts…

Ballad, ode, elegy,
Epic, lyrical poetry
Epigram, allegory,
Irony, cacophony.
Terza rima, doggerel
Or an ABC poem.

So many poems, what to write?
Is it wrong? Is it right?
I’ll write like me
That’s best, you see
I’ll rhyme and vent
To my hearts content!

King & Day

A little political tanka

Oh those days of old
When kings ruled with iron fists
How those times have changed
Now Presidents and PMs
Lead the way and rule or lives

And a romantic haiku

The king to my queen
But not only for a day
For eternity

Sue’s #writephoto prompt this week.

the-silver-well-3

Spring forth with new life
Drink from me to renew self
Feel energy soar

~~~

But drink sparingly
Drops are better than huge gulps
Just enough for you

~~~

Remember the words
Enough’s as good as a feast
Too much, you’ll regret

WRITESPIRATION #105 52 WEEKS IN 52 WORDS WEEK 9 – Emotion

01 Mar 2017 35 Comments

Wednesday means it’s #writespiration time!

Sacha’s prompt this week…

**This week, we’re playing a game. muhahahaha Write your 52 words describing just one emotion, BUT you’re not allowed to use the name of the emotion or tell me what it is. I want to guess.**

I hope I did this right!

Each second passing feels like an hour.

My stomach is twisting up in knots.

My fists clench and loosen, then clench again.

Unknowingly I begin to nibble at the dry skin on my lips.

Looking up at the clock, I almost gasp.

It’s time.

I pick up the phone and hit ‘call’.
