Taking a Break

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

I have decided to take a break from blogging for a while. There are several reasons for my decision, one being that my available time to dedicate to writing has become limited.

My passion is writing and I created this site to share my poetry and hope that you would read it and understand. I have written my way through many ups and downs in my life and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling to be heard. Unfortunately, instead of letting my creative spirit go where it wanted to go, it was held hostage while I worked more and committed myself to other activities. I found myself forcing the poetry from me rather than letting it flow. My writing is not at its best when that happens, and I know it. Writing should be therapeutic, and at least, fun. Never a chore.

So my blogging friends and followers, I am putting down my pen for a while and intend to enjoy a little free time. I will be traveling as well as doing things I enjoy with my family and friends.

While I am away I will turn off comments. I will be back soon and in the meantime I thank you all for your continued support. Blogging is no fun unless you have readers and followers to share it with you. I appreciate all of you very much.❤️

Kind wishes,

Christine

Cicada Serenade

Cicada Serenade

sticky, sultry evenings of late summer
droplets of sweat mingling in body crevices
an open door offering no relief
as the air hung heavy from weighted clouds
the only sound, that of whirring fans
and the serenading of cicadas
as they make love
before singing themselves to death
