    About this ebook

    Using a variety of imagery, poet Donna Tarrant reflects on her life story and experiences in the collection Precious Gems. Some poems focus on nature, others religion, while others decipher meaning behind the months of the year. Elements like rain, wind, and snow parallel feelings and emotions.

    “An Ocean of Tears” focuses on the pain of abuse. “Spring Storm” depicts the brightness of nature escaping the last bit of snow. “Sand” is a peaceful poem expressing the wonder of beach walking, while “On a Woodsy Trail” follows the same theme, although the walk is now through wild woods.

    Learn the right ingredients for achieving dreams in “The Goal” and much more in this collection of precious moments that influence life and the way we live it.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
