                      40 days to celebrate
                      what the Lord has done.
                      40 days to celebrate
                      Jesus’s love for everyone.
                      40 days for fasting and
                      denying yourself of one
                      luxury to remind yourself
                      of the time Jesus spent alone
                      with Satan in the desert.
                      Draw closer to Christ and no one
                      else. It is a holy time
                      to remember the removed stone.

                      An Ohio native, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. It was entitled Daffodils. At that time, she fell in love with the form. She wrote through the angst of adolescence and into the beauties and dissonance of adulthood. She has of late begun to write flash fiction. It speaks to her as another short form. Her first chapbook, Lyrical Legacy, was published in 2021. She has also been included in several anthologies. All are available on Amazon.
