“I am an empath and feel the change of seasons by observing with my senses. Being a poet means writing and sharing my experiences. The connection to the lunar calendar and other environmental shifts compel me to begin preparing for nature’s bounty after a harsher existence through the cold winter months.
April is a notable time because in the United States we not only celebrate Easter and Passover but also National Poetry Month. Spring is the time to replenish and awaken after the winter’s cold slumber. Here is a poem I wrote to celebrate Spring and national Poetry Month.”

Some spiral to the ground.
Such a sweet nectar.
forsythia blooms
trumpet-buds announce flavors
of honey‑sweet spring.

Thanks to Valentina for this posting opportunity and blessings to all.
Ann, to be an empath, one must be connected to the universe to feel what others feel and it seems you are very connected. It was my pleasure to host you, I got to know you a little more. I wish you much success with your new release.
