Love, Words & Poetry

I read a poem reflecting ideas on change by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, share our thoughts on a major change in our lives, and end with a trip to Muir Woods. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

I have two very different poems that illustrate how birds lead us to freedom, along with love letters on how we feel about the other's work. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

I open with a recent poem on a fractal flower, include our love letters on how we spent our weekends, and close with a reflection on time and timelessness. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

My first poem is the result of a major revision of 5 lines I dashed down just as I was finishing the work I needed to do in order to graduate from college. Our love letters look forward to the birth of our third child, and the closing poem is from last year. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

I open with a poem about Northern California, where I resisted the changed geography from the East Coast, share our love letters as we looked forward to the birth of our third child, born in New York City but in 3 months accompanied us all to Concord, California. I end in Southern California, where I've lived now for over 40 years. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

I look at marriage in Genesis, in our love letters, and dream of summer in the middle of winter in the final poem. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

Two poems written as I was trying to adjust to the geographical differences between New Jersey and California bracket love letters we wrote as we were discovering new relationships with God. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

I include two versions of "St. John's Alphabet Fugue," 30 years apart, with a description of a fugue, and our love letters on our oldest daughter starting her own "alphabet fugue" in kindergarten. May words add more love and poetry to your days!

I discover winter victories in the garden and in poetry making, along with our love letters on the masks we wear and how they affect our relationship. For an overall picture of what we learned during our marriage, you might also want to order my book, Spectacular Marriage: 10 Surprising Ways to Divorce Proof Your Marriage, available at Barnes & Noble or on my website, greenvisi

My poems today look at the expected birth of one of our children, and the blessing of marriage, and our love letters reflect our feelings as we approached the upcoming birth. May words add more love and poetry to your days!
