Stephanie Says:

This blog is where I post my poems, when I remember or when I find scraps of paper from years ago. The date I post a poem usually has nothing to do with the date I wrote it!
I feel like poetry is discovered, rather than written, and I like to find it and share it. It's kind of like archaeology - you can unearth a good poem and learn something from it. But you didn't really write the poem yourself, you just provided the medium through which the poems can show themselves to the world. At least, that's what it feels like to me.

Reincarnation

I would like to be a giant tortoise,
Moving slowly through the giant world.
Money, work and stresses not a problem,
Living for a hundred years or more.

Patterned shell upon my back not heavy,
Lots of grass ahead of me to eat.
Quiet in the morning dew-drops twinkle
Sunshine brings a cheerful melody

I would like to be a giant tortoise,
Moving slowly through the giant world.
Watching as each day rises to greet me
Calmly waiting for it to unfurl.
