“Poems About Life, Love, and Everything in Between” is a poetry collection that provides a glimpse into the heart, mind and soul, of its author JoAnne Myers. It is a heartwarming read, written with love and respect for others.  Some poems were written in times of sorrow, other poems were written in times of joyous celebration. Life if like that.

                        SELFISH WANT

            Looking out the window,

            the cool air rushes by.

            No time for me it has,

            the leaves of summer on its mind.

            Hard is my life,

            like the callous hands of a tenacious man.

            Longing for much, dreaming of more.

            The passing of time is now my friend.

            My carefree days of youth has soared.

            Nothing left but dreams and memories to contend.

            Living with the indulgence of my selfish want.

                                    * * * *

            THAT SHALLOW STREAM

            That shallow stream we once knew.

                        Is now the victim of late unused.

            Its once glimmering waters held,

                        childhood joys and life abound.

            The bottom full of sand and mud,

                        became victim to the sun-dried dust.

            Once gleaming sprouting green,

                        surrounded its banks as high as knees.

            Then Mother Nature swallowed her whole,

                        leaving nothing behind to serve or please.

            Now one’s feet shall wade no more.

                        Where once sweet water ran swift and clean.

            No longer quenches thirsty deer and boar.

                        So when one comes back to see,

            the place where fish swam and jumped,

                        finds only sorrow instead of glee.     

            In joyous thoughts of yesteryear,

                        memories hold tight to what was dear.

            Like gazing in an ageless mirror,

                        a withered stream can be no more.

    Meet Sarah

    Welcome to my blog. For those of you who haven’t stopped by before, I’m a romance author. I write everything from what reviewers have called ‘page turning, edge of your seat suspense,’ to contemporary romance with a touch of suspense. My books vary in heat levels. Some are sexy, a few are scorching hot, but all have a happily-ever-after.


    I love to hear from readers!
