I was interviewed last week with the entertainment editor of the Waco Trib about poetry and me hosting the Open Night Poetry readings weekly. The article appeared in the paper today. When you click on the link, the article is there, but minus my picture and poem. So, I'll add my poem for those of you who don't get the local paper. Does that mean I'm now "published"?
Poetry
by Maryee
Recited or read well
Rants, raves or amusing stories to tell
Future songs or picture books
Some rhyme, but not all the time
Poetry
It evokes emotion
Sadness, grief, laughter
Sheer joy, peace, love
Poetry is visual painting written on a paper
It flows from the heart of the poet
to the soul of the hearer or reader
Poetry begins as early as learning your ABC's
and your favorite nursery rhymes
Poetry will never die
From spiritual to lyrical
This muse has longevity
Poetry

Congrats girlfriend! Another step toward your goals....keep stepping.
You are one gifted chic-a-dee! Congrats!
Tanya, Tra, and LaChanda,
Thanks for the cudos! I'm still getting, "Was that you I saw in the paper?" from folks, young and old. Small fan fare, I guess. :-)
