I’ve written poetry all my life, starting when I was about six.
Poetry first, short or long stories, whatever it takes to string
one word after another …
DRAWN INTO WORDS
the first seduction – 
a line of ecstatic red
drawn on white paper
later I was enticed
by wild blue zigzags
and long green loops
beguiled by marching hooks
then crooked capitals –
finally tempted by solemn
tongue-curving black cursive –
then it
was done –
I had fallen in love –
acquired a passion
for words
first published on a Barrio Poster
NEW! To Bethlehem: This little book is delightful, full of … poems on this timeless subject. … the most fun is the little prose vignettes of the common people in the Christ-child story. The slave who looks after the wise men’s camels, or the overworked maid at the inn who has to fetch water for the birth, and many more. A lovely gift for the reader on your Christmas list! Rosalind Adams. Available from Amazon and Kindle.
