    About this ebook

    The Poet’s Moon, titled after one of the poems, is a collection of my poetry and short stories. The works are separated into sections from Thought Provoking and Humorous, to Oddities. Here is a sample of one of the poems from the back cover.

    My Moon

    God gave me a moon to sit upon,
    To write about stars in the sky.
    And as I was creating a poem,
    A little gold fairy came by.

    She said, “This is a glorious night, dear,
    With wondrous sights to see.
    And I’ll happily take you to see them,
    If you write a poem about me.”

    So I wrote about her gossamer wings,
    Of blue and red and green.
    I wrote about her silky blonde hair,
    And her dress that befit a queen.

    She then sprinkled me with star dust,
    And took me by the hand.
    We flew across the Milky Way,
    And what I saw was just grand.

    There were shooting stars lighting up the sky,
    And new stars that were forming.
    I even got to see Haley’s Comet,
    And I’m telling you it was heart-warming.

    After flitting about the magnificent cosmos,
    I was returned to my little moon.
    I sincerely thanked the little gold fairy,
    And hoped I’d see her again soon.

    I picked up my pen to write a poem,
    About the illustrious creation’s of God.
    After all I’d seen I looked at my words,
    And my insignificant poem seemed flawed.

    What can I say? I'm a Kentucky girl who likes to write. Those who chose to take a chance on one of my books, I hope you enjoy it and are interested in seeing what else is in my imagination. My stories cover things from poetry, short stories, children's books, thrillers, action/adventure, romance, humor and sometimes most of those genres are covered in one book.Thanks for reading!
