Note: Laura Leiser has been a good friend for several years and was the one who invited me to try Poetry Soup in 2016. She leads a writer's workshop that I am blessed to be a member of, and is a talented poet in many styles, writing of nature, family, faith, whimsical topics and vignettes from life. I hope you can take some time this week to check out some of her poems. Happy Birthday Laura! (June 10th) Creation is your most beloved theme: "Icelandic talismans of tales sublime". So many forms you've written, it would seem you never lack for metaphor or rhyme. Your faith in God so strong, with nuance blest in poems 'giving godly grace' to all. Heroic crown of sonnets - I'm impressed! a masterpiece that holds my soul in thrall. You write of moments from the life you live, of lovely grandchildren - one girl, one boy. As you have given freely, so I give my birthday greeting - may it bring you joy! So grateful for the heartfelt, warm invite six years ago that led me to this site.
