She is originally from Australia, has lived in the Hawaiian Islands for most of her adult life and now lives on the mainland US.  Her poetry is a mixture from all these  places.   In her writing she has explored many forms but finds ease of expression mostly in free verse.  Her poems are included in an Anthology "A Bridge to ALL Nations."with other poets from  Connie's site: Poetry for Thought. One of the greatest joys in her life was to be contacted by Carol Mays, a fellow Souper, to publish an Anthology together, titled, " Poems of Nature, Enchantment and Mystery, available in Paperback and Kindle on Amazon. Here is a link.

Im like Andrea, Im not too good at this kind of stuff. You make me think too much. That always gets me in trouble. I'll read a few and see if anything pops.

Imagery is something felt on a deep level. If it is trouble you want to avoid I will understand. LOL SuZ

Hi SuZ, according to the link the first line could be in any of our 5 senses, making it all the more fun. What is your take on it? This looks like a lot of fun :))

Hi Suzette: Yes….I included the link so that people could read about using the senses. It was too much to put in the contest instructions. I’ll welcome all interpretations.

this kind of thing is a bit hard for me. I really like the second example, that one I could really "see."

I agree ….for me too. That’s why I thought it might be good to practice looking at the world a bit more with the intent of making unusual connections. Please have a go if you can. I have one to post soon.
