GUEST POST

Welcome back to my blog, Abigail. Please tell us about your new book.
Thank you! “Foxglove In Springtime” is a compilation of poems about love in the springtime and letters from my son to the Easter Bunny after his sister was born. I love springtime it’s a time of love and rebirth. The snow melts and the Earth is in bloom. 

Where did you get your inspiration for this book? 
The idea began two years ago, when I noticed many daughter wrapping a dump truck for my preteen son for Easter. I thought: this is something I want to share in a book with poems of love in springtime. I thought the poems were a nice addition because I found love in March and gave birth March 1st and March 31st to my children. Springtime is very special to me. 

You love to write poem. What intrigues you most about writing this genre? 
I love to write about love. I think love is everlasting and eternal. Love brings humanity to life. Our daily lives are stressful but there are moments that can be captured poetically. Life is richer when we have love in it.


Care Instructions for Springtime Love 
Prepare your heart for love. 
Carefully weed through the dirt bags
till the best bachelor or bachelorette,
begins to shake free of those who are unworthy. 
Set out each season carefully planting yourself 
in your best light. 
Don’t dig a hole with lies. 
Sow the seeds of love and happiness, 
as you watch love hop your way.

Spring Showers of Truelove
Truelove showers open hearts in the springtime,
the fertile earth gives birth to the gentle beauty of,
a blissful season of truelove. 

Sweet rays of springtime
thaw the freeze heart.
Gone like the first day of winter,
Love Springs forth like the hands of time

@Abigail

You're very welcome; I think that in our days, people/readers forget about poetry and it is a sad thing. One poetry could bring emotions more than 10 books
