"Simple" Lady Poetry

"Troubles will come and they will pass...

Welcome to my poetry journey. It began many years ago

during a confusing, challenging, and heavy time. Nothing around me seemed to make sense. As I journaled my various tumbled and tangled thoughts, ideas, and feelings they took the shape of what I now know to be a simple small couplet poem. Since that day, I’ve found light, ease, and sometimes even some sense comes to me when I sit with my journal, whether that’s during a sad, maddening, delightful, or fun moment and often poetry results.

Just Dance

Just dance with the waves of change

powerful, gentle, crashing, rolling rhythm.

Our lives and the oceans musical rearrange

Through the years, a few great friends have entered my life

and encouraged me to share them more regularly and

widely. Thus, this PLOG now took shape here. I call it "Simple" Lady Poetry because, let’s be honest, life and being human are not simple. Yet, simplicity can help us find our way through the confusion. Lady is the name my treasured grandkids call me, and I've long thought the song "Simple Man" by Lynyrd

Skynyrd contains some of the best life advice in it, even for a "Simple Lady” like me.

If even one of my "simple" poems here helps you make sense

of anything senseless that’s on your heart and mind, then I'm

glad I decided to follow the nudges of those wonderful

humans who encouraged me to share them. And I know we will all continue to experience multitudes as humans on this earth. I expect I'll keep processing much of it in my journal through the rhythm and rhyme of poetry, and I hope you’ll keep coming back here to check in and see what “simplicity” through words I found in the midst of it all.

...All that you need is in your soul" ~ Lynrd Skynyrd
