Susan Woodrow Poet Bio

Panacea

Presence is a life lesson to keep; parental pasts made one weep
Assisting others was a joyful leap but full of frustration’s trauma
Natural temples answered prayers unheard in organized religion
'All life deserves kindness!' but greed clawed a ‘me-first’ agenda
Conditioned to succeed, a schooled brain became a ‘love-lunatic’
Emotional pains wrestled mental ones through the long embrace
And when unbound, found, love’s road led the less travelled saga ~

(11/16/2020 For SO's contest: It’s a part of me..)

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 20, 2020 at 8:52 AM Go good to know an essential part of you, Susan. Already knew you were a talented poetess ... delighted to find out how well-balanced an individual you are. Looking forward to learning about you. Love and best wishes for the holiday. Romantic Warrior or as Winged Warrior affectionately called me, RomWar. Susan Woodrow November 20, 2020 at 7:19 PM Romantic Warrior! I remember you as one of my fave poets when I started as Sun Woods; you know, I thought it may have been you all along but was unsure. It was saddening to hear about Winged Warrior. Happy Thanksgiving to you; I'm keeping a grieving friend company. We're driving to all the National Parks in Arizona; such stunning vistas all around! :)
