Barbara's Poetry

Most of my poems were written during periods of emotional intensity. I recently came across an old folder of my compositions and decided to list them here. The earliest I have is from 1967. New ones may be added as the mood strikes me.

The words in my poems just come to me. The writings just seem to flow. I have no training writing poetry and when the thoughts come I just write what I feel. When I felt under stress is when the writings would come and when I was at peace there seemed to be little flow. Now that I am at peace all the time the flow has returned.

Life presents many lessons to us and by reflecting on what I have written helps me to see what needs to be viewed so I can grow and learn the lessons presented to me.

The years they were written are listed along the left menu and each poem is located on a drop-down panel on that page.
