 Sometime in the future, slowly but surely, the earth changes.

Susan can feel something different in the air; her daughter hears music wherever she goes, and her husband is statled to see the wheat in the far field dancing when there is no wind.

What on earth is going on and how will it change them?

Picture Books

March 3, 2010


Picture books
of every size
fit the hands and
fit the eyes
of the smallest people
who love to read
about Daisy-Head Mayzie
and Mulberry Street.

 

Paperbacks

March 2, 2010


Paperback books travel well in
and out of airports, pockets,
bathtubs, friends and acquaintances;

Read Me!

Read me! Read me!

Ladder Backs

February 27, 2010



Ladder-back chairs are
straight-backed for climbing
hand-over-hand,

to travel and keep you
in place.

New Eyes

January 25, 2010


Sometimes you need a new view,
a different angle of common things,
a window with clean glass overlooking
ordinary trees and grasses criss-crossed
with your footprints. Sometimes you need
to read old stories from new eyes.

Season's Shine

December 9, 2009


Store windows twinkle,
sparkle, glitter, and glow in
the season of giving, of
shining, of singing, of
joyful rejoicing in 
wonder-filled children with
sugar-plumed dreams, jingled
and prancing, a shiny red nose!

creating roots,
drying as she
nurses her
offspring to
life.

Dressing for the Holidays

November 14, 2009


Like gifts appearing under the tree,
Christmas surprises are everywhere;
wreaths on lamp posts,
swags across Main Street,
icicle lights lining Market Square;
town begins to glitter and shine,
dressing for the holidays.

Every day has a poem. I watch, I listen, I think, I pray. When I hear a poem, I write it down. Sometimes I find a picture that illustrates the day. I am always surprised. I hope you will be, too.

A writer of many genres, Sally Clark loves living in a small town with her husband where their grown children and five grandchildren all live within walking distance. Crowded with relationships, busy with activities, Sally takes refuge on the balcony of their old Victorian house - the perfect place to pen her thoughts.
