A Country Girl's Writing

As the sun beat down on my pores I paid no attention to what was in store.  Now my body is blistered and sore  From the fun I had off shore.  Written by Evelyn Creon 

          Now that May has passed by, I bring a little present from the beginning of my relationship with my husband. I went and visited the first place we went when we first started our relationship, and I was finally able to put into words a memory of us.  I once knew this path,  On a mid-summer evening. A cover band downtown was singing While my lover and I walked  The river greenway.  We wandered off the path  Down a little trail, That led us to a broken boardwalk  There we sat till dusk  Watching the river as we talked.  The river sang a gentle song  And the birds and insects joined along. We shared our first kiss  On the riverbank, So awkward it was.  People said it would be romantic  And it probably could've been  If I hadn't been so nervous  Wanting it to end.  Later he told me  It was the best kiss he'd ever had.  While in the back of my head  I didn't ...

     I recently had a friend reach out to me giving me the opportunity to create a new logo for my husband's handyman business. I used DesignEvo which is the same free logo website that I used to create my blog logo. I absolutely LOVE this website!     DesignEvo  gives you over 10,000+ free prefessional grade designs, along with all sorts of tips and tutorials  on their blog. They can be used on a desktop or mobile phone. A verity of icons and fonts to choose from.They also have a free app that can be downloaded from google play store. They do not provide cross-platform options, (it is only an android app.) They have two different plans: the free plan offers use of the platform, but you won't have as many download options. Premium plan is a one time payment per logo and you get all the download options. Both plans have high quality download options such as SVG, PNG, PDF.....    They are easy to use and pretty down to earth. I would recomend ...

We live in a broken world  Torn apart by sin.  Everywhere we turn, We can see it seeping in.  It is on our screens,  Our town and city streets,  In our schools and government,  And everywhere we meet.  It is a never-ending pest  That crawls up from the cracks. We battle it every day  Knowing only God can win  The battle against sin.  Written By Evelyn Creon

  A gentle breeze hit me Warming my chilly arms and reassuring my heart That sunny spring season is coming.  The brisk grass made way for my feet   And with each step, I sank into the soft soil.  Flowers had begun bursting forth from their earthy winter homes ,  And with every subtle movement, my eyes watched in admiration. Birds ruptured the sky with their songs ,  Amusing my aching ears.  Spring's aroma could finally be smelled   Announcing spring's arrival on the horizon.  In deep breaths, I tried to breathe it all in. Wishing for a halt in time While I enjoyed the beauty of the moment.  Written By Evelyn Creon

       I missed last week's blog post due to some unexpected health issues that completely skewed my ability to use my brain in any capacity. I also forgot to have a backup post for emergencies like last week. So instead of stressing about a blog post, I just pushed it off and decided to start back up this week.      Today's poem is about how I am feeling about the idea of being a mother (my all-time dream job).  I am torn between two worlds. One of motherhood and one of not. In one aspect, I'm a mother carrying her child Yet in another, I am not because I don't have all the responsibilities That a mother should have. My dream of being a mother has come And now I am waiting on the bench. Preparing for a child, and free of all the obligations  Which comes with the title "mother." Am I a mother? The answer is yes. Do I feel like a mother? No, I do not.  So, I'm torn between two worlds. Written by Evelyn Creon ...
