Summer afternoon,
misty cool rain washes away sadness,
residual pain.
Approaching promised moon like a pearl balloon floats above cloudy lanes drenched in rain.
Earth beneath forever sky shimmers, shines with endless life.
Blueness blends in a thousand shades: sky, birds, flowers, rocks, rivers.
Earth aches under its own weight.
Power, beauty, prisms of light sparkle in rain puddles,
and drench the parched earth.

I am a published poet and short story writer. I have been published in SNHU's the penmen review. https://penmenreview.com/author/jenny-andrews is the link where you can find my poetry and a short story. Currently, I am writing a collection of short stories, and a collection of poetry. I am trying my hand at writing a novel. Well, not a novel, actually. Make that two novels. My passion is writing. My inspiration is Franz Krafka because he managed to see the absurdity of life. Life is all about perspective and who is telling the story. We all see this life through the lens of our experiences. Literature should inspire us to think, to analyze, and to get lost in unfamiliar worlds in which we learn something new about this human existence. It is my hope that my writing challenges the reader to think, and to see a different perspective, as well as be entertained. My faith in Jesus strengthens me and gives me the courage to survive the twists and turns of this life. My faith influences a lot of my writing in that goodness always triumphs over evil, in that love conquers all. I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
