Poetry and Prose by #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow, Co-Author of #1 Amazon Bestseller, Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women, and Jan/Feb 2022 Spillwords Press Author of the Month
They bloom with vibes as grapes drive on vines, butterflies welcome their seasons in species, My blood celebrate me.
But, when blooms derail when transitions cut off maturity, and my blood betrays me, Can l announce to denounce ? Can any type fit in tighter than ‘A’? Denouncing it is denouncing self and soul denouncing it is denouncing my nature.
As healing rains fall with water and fire to take us higher, so do l prepare for the smooth, the rough and tough turns, even for the never hoped for, to be at peace with pains, For no other can hide my heartaches in smiles than myself, for Sorrow is a perfect Picture of Love in progress.

It’s the winter sunshine Pale and just warm enough The tangy smell of citrus fruit Warms my nostrils with anticipation Lime and lemons Oranges and kinoes The perfect accompaniments To the afternoon sun in winters Sitting partly in shade, a little in the sun I enjoy our futile debates on theology and politics The memories stay forever in my mind Winter sun, citrus and your invigorating company.
Winter Sunshine and You was inspired by the poem, Lemon and Limes. You can read more of Sadje’s poetry at Keep it Alive.
In the event you missed my interview with Victoria Onofrei of Bloomsbury Radio, you can tune in this week at 7 am, and 2 pm PT (USA) to catch the rebroadcast.
I am pleased to announce that my poem, Plum Trees, is now available at MasticadoresUSA. Thank you to Gabriela Marie Milton, and the team at MasticadoresUSA for their continued support and for publishing this piece.
Plum Trees
plum trees always take my breath away
as in their shade, we play with notions of hope and trust
and a little bit of the magic seen within the last bunch…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
I was elated last month when Victoria Onofrei of Bloomsbury Radio sent me a message inviting me to an interview on her radio show. The interview was conducted a couple of weeks ago via Zoom. Victoria is a lovely host, and a delightful conversationalist. It was great fun.
These same streets of love You once roamed With your head bowed Stewing in the hot ashes Of burnt hopes In these same streets You shall walk again Head raised As if to see what the narrow path And heat were trying to reveal Lessons and blessings, nestling In ashes
