About Debra L Brown

I live in West Virginia with my husband.
History and genealogy are two subjects that I enjoy reading about.
In the early 2000s, I began writing poetry and was urged by my church's pastor
to create a poem to recite on Sunday nights.
In high school, I became interested in poetry.
When I read Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem "How Do I Love Thee?"
This poem had a significant impact on me.
and it is one of my favorite poems. I also have a special love for classic poets and poetry
When a tiny child reads aloud one of my poems, it is a true blessing.

    It is a very interesting poem, which takes me back to my childhood in which we, the children, sang the nursery rhyme, "There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name-o."

  • Beside Your Grave

    in Husband Death Poems

    I left a simple rose today.
    I laid it down upon your grave.
    Then memories came rushing - from the past,
    of our lives together; we said it would last.

I enjoyed your poem. I certainly know where you're coming from. When it comes to tech, I'm not tech-savvy either. It seems like every time you get things down pat, they change the whole program. You have to learn all over again. It drives me crazy sometimes.
Thanks for a well written poem - Debra Brown
