Welcome to my poetry blog. I’m Norma and I hope you enjoy reading my poetry as much as I enjoy writing it. My poetry can be found on the side panel grouped in the “Poetry” or “Categories” lists. Thanks for visiting.

“Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.”

— Carl Sandburg (“Poetry Considered”)

  4. Norma, from the title of your blog to the Sandburg quote (my favorite poet, along with Neruda) to the lovely verse, great stuff. I’m a night owl, too… it’s almost like the pencil starts to dance on the journal, too tempting! Thanks for visiting me! Amy

  17. Good luck with your book (and this was an excellent read, thank you!)

  18. I used to brush off poetry. Had no need for it, believed time would be better spent writing “paragraphs and essays” or thought it simply too “romantic”…still do I suppose.

    But now, now when I go to write – I find I only have the energy to write a few words, lines. And I suppose one might say – that’s poetry.

  19. love your header, thanks for the visit.

    keep it up.
    ;)
