About Kelly Deschler

(Click for Poet Info...)

Just a small town girl ... with an old soul and a young heart ...

I was born in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, grew up in Iola, Wisconsin and currently live in Big Falls, Wisconsin... In my spare time, I enjoy writing poetry and researching our family history in order to preserve it for and to share it with future generations.

My poems have been published in every edition of Poetry Soup's anthologies, as well as various others.

In 2019, my poem, 'The Hollow', was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. It appeared in their school textbooks, audiobooks and online learning materials.

Dear Kelly, I really enjoyed reading the entries for this contests. I have a special interest in owls and look for them on nature trails. It was also a catharsis to have a chance to write about "Grace" as I miss her so much. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks for my placement! Love, Carolyn

You're very welcome, Carolyn. Thank you for entering my contest with such a beautiful and touching write. I'm happy that you have enjoyed reading these poems.... I have an interest in owls, too. I've been collecting figurines of them, to add to a collection that was my Grandmother's. She loved owls, too, and so does my Mom! :)

My Owl is flapping his Scottish Wings in delight that he's been read, let alone honoured Kelly. Thank you kindly, and he still presides in the Forest keeping the humans in check - James xx
