Please enjoy the following preview from my upcoming poetry collection, The Space Between Clouds, available March 15, 2026!

DON’T LISTEN

Soft, wispy feathers
graced the sky today
Beautiful against the blue-
I quietly asked,
Where did you come from?

A lovely swan
gliding on the water
The wings of an angel
offering comfort-
All these lovely thoughts

But then…that voice

What is wrong with you?
Those are just clouds
with scientific names
Perhaps you should
do some research…

Humph-no, thank you!
I’ll keep looking
for soft, wispy
feathers, floating
against the blue
