Caroline M. Rogers

Caroline M. Rogers is a lover of words, crafty things, and nature. In addition to writing poetry, she has been an educator for over ten years. She is a devoted reader, drawn to exploration of the human experience. A New Hampshire native, she spends much of her time outside, taking in the grounding effects of an afternoon in her kayak or an evening by the campfire. She is the lucky inhabitant of a sweet relationship and a simple home in the pines, both of which allow her to continue the forever process of growing as a writer and a person. Her poetry has been published locally in the Fitzwilliam Newsletter, online in the Satya Journal and Toot’n Towns USA, and in print, as a selected poet in Steady Moon Press’ anthology on writing, The Poet’s Word.

Thank you to my family and to my love for knowing me deeply and for always reminding me of who I am. And thank you to the good, good earth for leading me back when I’ve rambled down a dirt road.

Circles

Strange how these circles, so many,

unexpectedly keep turning in my life.

I do not see the end until the beginning

      and vice versa.

Strange,

these circles made of

guitars, the pines, and
