Oh Caterpillar?

For you my friend...

Oh Caterpillar

By: Annette Thomas

Sometimes, I sit and think

about past events until

depression seeps in…

But today, I am reminded

that just when the caterpillar

thought, “I am incapable

of moving,” it became a

butterfly.

Thank you,

Oh caterpillar.

All is swell!

Today, I read the above quote and found it to be very inspiring. I don’t know who to quote as the source, but it reminds me to look for the good in a not-so-good situation. Almost four months ago, I left my job of 11 years. After searching for a job for a month, I thought of the not-so-good situation and took to self-reflection.  Shortly after, I joined a spiritual writer’s group that inspired me to do that which I love.  I have since found peace…and another job.  All is swell! Remember as I have, the storm never lasts forever and there is sunshine on the other side. - Annette Thomas

What I Love?

So today I typed “writing” in the search engine and what results did I get - images of quill pens, pictograms, typewriters, magnetic words, keyboards, and reading glasses on books.  Does anyone pick up a pen anymore and just write? I find the whole thought of writing thrilling, of course I am a writer.  Of all my writing though, I love my poetry the most. Hope you enjoy it.

What I Love

What I love about poetry

I love about you…

the newness of uncovering

that which lives deep inside.

discovering fresh thoughts in

which to find the words,

and the magic when

you express that.

and the happiness of sharing

that with anyone who will

listen to the rhythm that

rolls off your tongue.

Fairy Dust Dreams?

Ah the magic and wonder of starry-eyed lovers…



Fairy Dust Dreams

By: Annette Thomas

Once upon a

Fairy dust dream

Two starry-eyed lovers

Danced on moonbeams.

This in my head

I began to repeat

And how it did make

My heart skip a beat.

Lost in a dreamland

Yes indeed

Continue for this

You must read…

As vibrant as

Your lovely laugh

This I must

Say on my behalf

Fairy dust makes

Me think of you

But this you

Really have no clue.

It was this dream

Of starry-eyed lovers

That made me

Want to really discover

The magic and

Wonder that I feel

Is only for you

And that’s for real.
