YouTube videos capture people’s interest, but instead of curating content from outside my world, I’m going to share a couple videos I recorded last year in April during National Poetry Month.

Videos of poetry from Time Measured Out!: Navigating Life’s Journey Through Poetry

In December, I released the second book in a five-book poetry series, Time Measured Out!: Navigating Life’s Journey Through Poetry. These poems show the variety of topics in the book.

Our Names

I share my names with my grandmothers, but this poem is about sharing my name with my paternal grandmother. She had a major influence on me, living in the same town.

Spirit Coyote

I love magical realism, but I base this poem on a real experience I had one morning on a walk.

Videos of poetry from Is My Truth Universal?: A Woman’s Poetic Odyssey

This book demonstrates how I maneuvered a poetry class and its requirements, much different than my free verse poetry. This book is permanently FREE, so go and download it:

Cinquain

“The cinquain, also known as a quintain or quintet, is a poem or stanza composed of five lines.”

https://poets.org/glossary/cinquain

Quatrain

“In poetry, a stanza is like a paragraph, and a quatrain is a stanza of exactly four lines, often with an alternating rhyme

pattern.”

Finally,

I love reading my own words—that’s the reason why I love doing audiobooks. These videos are snippets of me and my words! If they resonate with you, let me know! It’s so rewarding to get feedback.
