Welcome
to POETIC PEACHES
& DREAMS!
If you enjoy poetry, you’ve come
to the "write" place, as you will find a variety of poetry forms here.
This is a gathering of poetry
from contemporary poets as well as selections from some of the famous poets
of yesterday. Also featured
in the " Peach Fuzz
" section are simple children's poems in the hope of encouraging and instilling
in our children an appreciation for poetry from the earliest years of life.
This I
do with my children, just as my mother did with me.

| Perhaps you're asking yourself:
"What have peaches got to do
with poetry?" The
answer to that question lies in the roots of my family tree which are in
the beautiful, southern state of Georgia,
" the peach state." Yeah,
you guessed it: I’m a genuine
southern belle, a daughter of Dixie
Land!
And as for the dreams, poets
are forever dreaming! I now
reside in Lynn Haven,
Florida, a small suburb of Panama
City, having been here for sixteen
years. But, of course I still have Georgia
on my mind!
I
believe that poetry is a therapeutic art form for both the reader and the
writer of it. Poetry is
a gateway through which the imagination can fly, a window through which
the heart can laugh and cry. It
is the means by which we can allow the child inside each of us to express
ourselves on many planes about the multi-faceted complexities of this thing
called LIFE. Poetry
is the music of my heart and poets are the instruments of that music.
I welcome comments and ideas or questions,
from all who visit here. Also
much appreciated is the feedback you can provide to the writers featured
here. It takes just a moment to let someone know you appreciated
something they wrote, and the comments are a joy to the author, as well
as being helpful. |
