77º ~ one of those rare low-humidity, nice breeze, bright sun kind of days
Another short post, but this time with a link to four of my own poems that appeared in print today. Two of my saint poems and two of my new tales (fairy and cautionary) are now available to read online at Escape Into Life. Many, many thanks to Kathleen Kirk, the poetry editor, for choosing these poems and for finding such AMAZING art to add with them.

“The Fledgling Saint“
“Fairy Tale for Girls Enthralled by the Storm“
wow. terrific work, sandy. i especially like "Fairy Tale for Girls Enthralled by the Storm." your pieces deserve the lovely art that accompanies them.
Thanks, Nancy! It feels good to see these in print, to say the least.
Congrats, Sandy.
Brent Goodman posted the link to these poems, which I read and loved.
Blown away! No pun intended. But these poems are magnificent, and they make me yearn for a book full of more of them!
Thanks, Q!
Montgomery, glad you found the poems and that they worked for you. Thanks for stopping by to post.
Kristin, so glad you liked them. I've been waiting to be able to link to some of the tale poems, especially for you!
Sandy – wow!! Your work is absolutely lovely and haunting. I loved all 4 poems, but "Fairy Tale For Girls Enthralled by the Storm" was my favorite! Thanks for these poems and your inspiration…
Erin, thanks so much for the kind words and for the support!
Kind of late dropping in to say so, Sandy, because I've been SO busy this spring, but I read these and they stuck with me, so I wanted to stop in and tell you how much I love this lyrical fantasy world you're developing.
Coupled with the art, they're absolutely enchanting.
Justin, busy for good reason! It's been fun to follow along on the journey. Thanks so much for the kind words about the poems. They are definitely a departure for me, but I'm fully absorbed by them now.
