POETRY still lives...


So what do poets do during a pandemic? 

Write poems about it!  

The St. George Festival of Literary Arts just published a volume of poetry written by local poets. 

Journaling or talking with a friend or spouse about your experiences this past year can bring healing to you. 

Try it, we all need healing as the challenge continues.


Here's one of my poems I submitted:

WHY? by lin floyd

hope as elusive as a new butterfly
here for an instant then out of sight

longing for the peace and calmness
that nature brings to chaotic times

yearning for comfort within
as commotion builds everyday

can I cocoon myself and wait for
new beginnings to fly away in peace
