poetry
Drunk on playing hooky and Wild
Turkey, slip to the creek to make love,
oblivious to the danger presented
by sharp rocks and woken snakes.
Any minute now, a camper’s going
to stagger from a nearby tent, waving
a flashlight with one hand, grabbing
his fly with the other. Spy us
and forget to pee. So?? Got […]
Writing Bug bit when I was 8. Little prize at 12, that was IT. Now, if I just had time to actually put the words swirling in my head on paper. But life is what it is. Laziness and reverberations from a chaotic childhood combined with pressures having to do with gender and class and time slipped past. I messed up, okay? Add normal distractions like marriage, parenthood, returns to school, juggling jobs. . .. . you get the picture. Got a bag of excuses, take all you like. . ~{P}~ By 1986. . .{contin'd at www.authorsden.com/phyllisjeangreen; thanks.}
I interpreted the heavens today
As a cache of infinite musical notes.
Suspended in random fashion, I viewed
The stars through a transparency etched
With the five lines of a musical staff.
Moving the sheet across the sky, I was
Perfectly beguiled when the stars became
Notes stacked in harmonies of minor fifths
And sevenths - semitones and microtones -
A wash of minuet […]

We are the eternally expanding
Terrain of an unfathomable expedition.
We are a universe within a Universe;
A world within a World;
A mind within a Mind;
A heart within a Heart;
A dream within a Dream.
We are one created within One –
One being one through an illusion of “other.”
We are spirit exploring Spirit –
Self of many selves.

Hello fellow writers,
before I tease you with my newest poem (spring is definitely in the air) I would like to remind you; Mother’s Day is only two short weeks away and if you are scrambling to find the right gift for mom, here is an idea:
An autographed copy of a wonderful, award winning romantic suspense.

Circle of love……
Allow me to tell of a woman I know,
spreading love and joy always anew.
A good family she came, then she grew,
her very own family, from a circle of two.A […]
This journey of life has been challenging, yet a spiritual enlightenment in many respects. The many people I have met along the way have taught me humility and an appreciation for all life.
Spending time with family and close friends is most important, rewarding and it is with their support that I write today.
Working my way through college at night and being a single mother of four has been both challenging and an inspiration for me to reflect back upon.
I have many hobbies and with each the most rewarding part is in sharing with others.
My favorite choice is to be out in nature w . . .
A moving stroke,
It whispers there on the page,
I wonder.
Someone spoke a rhyme,
Once.
A rhyme delivered from her lips.
It moved him,
It moved his brush,
It moved his heart and slurred it across the page.
The page.
An empty sheet, once like him.
Colours dull and darkening,
Once like him, hardened.
And now they stand among the rest.
Among the rest.
Ordinary.
Once a power, moving through,
Is […]

“Source”, “Sentience”, “Energy”, “Wisdom”,
“Knowing”, “Compassion”, “Empathy”, “Love”
“Authenticity”, “Destiny”, “Faith” . . .
At what point will we reach all that can
Be said - a tipping point beyond which
We transcend words and rise up into
Something higher, deeper and wider
In that space behind and between words -
A connected knowing leading to
And resulting from a yearning toward
Continuity of […]

Misty eyes awoke

My hometown is still my hometown, Charlotte, NC. I have been in accounting for over twenty five years. Writing is one of my creative outlets. My daughter has been the major influence in my writing. She's my hero!
"Our children's growing minds, They look through caring eyes, I have hope for the world, In them the future lies." This is the last stanza of my poem "Our Children" which was one of my first creative endeavours. I am now a first-time children's book author.

With infant child at her breast
She softly whispers a lullaby -
The room clothed in
Darkness, save for a
Single bar of moonlight
That spills through the
Window.
The hope of the future is
Momentarily held within
Protective arms –
In this gift
Of a child -
Who has declared
His love unconditionally

Should reflect through votes not a glass.”
