I wanted to post a comment on each of your poems here, but that seemed kinda trite-so I am just going to put something here for you.
Your poetry is incredible.
I am very glad you are sharing.
Thank you.
I am so deeply honored to have met you. You brought me to and through the TOUGHEST time in my life. I am so grateful for you and your friendship. The words you write are you and the deepest particles of you. You are an AMAZING woman. I am speechless and covered in goosebumps. Thank you for everything you do!!
Thanks for the RT today on Twitter! I thought I would check out The Night Writer!…and found it VERY engaging. I too was a “head” writer (to use your term) for a very long time and I quit caring about what it was going to look like and just sat down and started doing it. It’s funny how once I quit caring if it was any good or not…and just writing…how easy it became to just sit down and do it. And once you get in the habit of writing on a daily basis, you just kick yourself, because you realize that NOT writing is so much harder than writing!
Very cool that you are following your writing dreams. Keep in touch.

Lovely stuff. Concur – it is hard to find the time when you have little ones – but important to make the time every day to write!
