Pause and Ponder

Who lives here?

Welcome to My Poetry Blog!

Hello! My name is Linda. I have been a writer in some form for most of my life, with many published short stories, two novels and a family history behind me. However, in recent years, my focus has been on poetry.

I discovered I could write poetry when I wanted to sharpen and tighten my story writing, and thought the discipline of the poem would serve that aim well. As I wrote more and more, I found that it was also a wonderful way for me to express my feelings in a shorter form

.

Now, twenty years after I wrote my first verses, I find it is my preferred way of expressing the variety, the wonder and joy to be found in this world and beyond, both physical and spiritual, and in all forms of life.

I invite you to pause and ponder on what you find here, and if you have enjoyed what I share, I would love you to post a comment to let me know what you liked about it.

You can also scroll down to where you can sign up to follow this blog and not miss any posts, which will be weekly.
