An Admission of My Truth

A woman writer, possibly considering the importance of getting the wording just right. At least that is what it looks like.



An Admission of My Truth
 
It would be disingenuous of me
To say
You are nothing. 
 
It would be crass
To say
You are unworthy. 
 
I would be stupid
To think that
You are ordinary.
 
There are so many
Things about which
I am wrong in life. 
 
My understanding of you
And what you are to me
Is not one of them.

This little bit of truth/poem could be said to and or about a variety of people in one's life, couldn't it?       skp

Great News for Tea Poetry Aficionados!


A brand new edition of the first Earlene Grey book, Musings With a Cuppa~The Poetry of Tea, will be available this spring!  It will be slightly revised, in the same perfect small size, but with new art work and new bright, light colors.  Don't worry, you will find the same poetry revealing the wit and wisdom that is encapsulated in all of the Earlene Grey works. Watch for further announcements on when and how to purchase copies.
