Dear Dee,
Visiting the link, my objection is that the tiny font aborts reading your sample poetry. Born and raised as a Hoosier, I most certainly encourage your sales to be as high as your current elation. Don |

Hi Dee,
Its an exciting and memorable time for you and I hope it does really really well.  I'm sure it will...those are some foxy fairies.  I'm afraid I cant quite read the poetry, the writing is too small, but maybe I find a copy over here in Ireland some time, I'll keep my eyes peeled.  Again, well-done !!!!  Terry . ······· ·······Terry

Thanks, Everyone! Here are a copy of the poems (in order) from that site, so you can actually read them (just for you *smile*). REFLECTION Will he think me beautiful today Water mirror tell your secrets Is the flower too much Release from your depths what you know His whispered words you have heard I know this to be true Will he think me beautiful today Water mirror tell your secrets Does my bosom he long to touch Release from your depths what you know My body craves his caress You know this to be true Will he think me beautiful today Water mirror tell your secrets Will his hand trace my skin as does the breeze Release from your depths what you know Do together we belong forever I so long this to be true Will he think me beautiful today Water mirror tell your secrets DAISY FAERY Basking in afternoon temperatures just so Daisy Faery whispers age-old wisdom No matter what life sends to your door You must always pause to turn face skyward Heaven awaits to bestow blessed peace In stillness will it find and cascade over you Take a lesson from a sunny-faced flower Stretch your neck and tilt your head Breathe deep and soft—savor every one Commune with the inner self you are Explore that place you may have forgotten When at last you open your eyes Trouble will be smaller than before If it is not, at least you will have found the sun And in it, the promise you know it holds BARN MOMENT Rough-hewn wood A refuge of hay Fragrant aroma Simple respite Ordinary place Effortless love Playful magic Grace added Least expected Quiet place Gentle commune Contentment WARRIOR PRINCESS
A fae of fierce beauty and strength Defends her territory relentlessly Leather and bone shield her breast Adorn her wrists, her ankles and neck She rides a bobcat on perimeter patrol Diligent and prepared for anything, anyone To cross her path, unsuspecting or not Fury unleashed—perhaps they would survive Or blessed mercy—to become the fallen So ‘tis best not to cross the boundary Take a different path, mere mortal Fly another route above the trees, dear fae Pray don’t engage on this day or another Back straight, shoulders proud Eyes always scanning, never does she stop A fae of fierce beauty and strength Defends her territory relentlessly |
