Hello friends! This is just a quick post to let you know that my new poetry collection, The Symmetry of Falling Leaves, is available for purchase today. To celebrate that, here is a preview of the poetry available in the collection!
October
Be kind to me October
With your newly fallen leaves
A chill in the otherwise still air
A wind blown through the eves
Be kind to me October
With your nights grown ever long
With things that call in nighttime
And their eerie pretty song
Be kind to me October
For none of these I fear
The only creeping in my heart
Is what was already here
Be kind to me October
For though your spooks are token
I fear that yet again I’ll leave
Feeling newly rebroken
The world can often feel like a roiling sea, whose waves, once brilliant blue, have descended into uproarious darkness. When it does, there may be nothing else to do but hold on tightly and hope that you're able to make it to the other side.
This collection of poems explores the rolling waves, the blazing sunlight, the bitter chill, and coming home again.
