That Archaic TreeStanding there lifelessBeaten by timeBirds are no longer attracted to theeRoots are no longer its backboneWishing the leaves would cover itBut they have fallen and withered awayThat fragile treeThe rain has ignored himForsaken by the sunAn outcast to the wildernessWaiting for its help to comeHelp, that it once provided shade forStanding there lifelessStill waiting for a returnThat lonely, abandoned, tired treeOur eldersFrom the Poet:As a teen, I had more of a love for drawing instead - writing was never interesting to me. In school, I had a particular assignment and that’s when I wrote my first poem called 'What Love is Like.' A lot of my classmates liked the poem and in that moment, I thought, I may be good at this. Years later as many trials in my life began to unfold, I began writing more and more, and overtime my love for poetry grew. It became an outlet for me to be able to release all the emotions I was feeling.Writing poetry has helped me cope with a tremendous amount of hurt and pain, and it has also helped me to express myself more. It’s always my desire to convey positive messages to my readers. It is my goal to teach and spread God’s Word through my poetry, so that people who stumble upon my work may find comfort and healing. There is power in words. I want people to be able to view my work and say, 'She understands how I feel!' I believe my poems are rays of light, and so my poetry is a reflection of me.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family.

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
