Under A Black Umbrella



When dark clouds appear
and it seems to rain for days and days
It makes me wish I were with you
Arm in arm....

Under a black umbrella

((This was one of my first poems. Came out of falling in "infatuation" with one of my mother's first cousins. I still think of it as one of my most purest of poetic attempts))

I have been seriously writing poetry since I was in my early twenties. I am 38 now. I write in my down time. By day I am a busy oncology nurse. At night I turn into a delicious poetress."Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.” ~AristotleThis is only a very small selection of my poems. I have written over 100 (and counting) Love that there is such a great venue as this for those of us who are so creative. =) POETS ROCK! more…
