Flickering Firelight
Warm glowing embers
reflected gently dying flames of passion
between us.

About Ann D. Stevenson
Ann D. Stevenson only began writing after she retired, when she joined a Writing for Well-Being course. It was during a difficult time, as her husband had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She found writing very therapeutic, more especially poetry. It was a real boost to her morale when Family Friend Poems began publishing her poems.
Ann was married for well over 50 years, but sadly is now widowed. However, she is lucky enough to have two happily married children and four grandchildren. She now lives in Hampshire in the UK. In the past, Ann has worked as a teacher, helped in a children’s home and spent some time as a PA.

A Beneficial Bonfire
in Sonnet Poems
Rubbish in my head can smoulder on
More...
creating smokey fumes which fog my brain
and when I think the murky clouds have gone
a few small sparks will bring them back again. -
Oh To Be Like My Flowering Cherry Tree
In Spring she blossoms forth,
More...
no concerns of what to wear,
festooned in flowered finery.

A Very Modern Cinderella (who Still Meets Her Prince)
No, no, no - I feel really low
More...
I don't want to go to the ball.
My hair is a mess - I can't find a dress -
A Specular Christmas
My tasks for Christmas have begun
More...
once the mistletoe's been hung.

Oh how well I recognise the emotion behind this poem. I wrote my poem She Tried to Fit In under similar circumstances. Very best wishes, Ann.
Oh for more poems like this, which leave you with a feel good factor. Keep writing! Very best wishes, Ann.
Another poem so clearly expressing my own feelings. It's good to read your poems and to know that I'm not alone. Keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann.
Oh how well I recognise your feelings behind this poem. I too recently lost my husband after over 50 years of marriage. It is very hard to carry on. My thoughts are with you. Very best wishes, Ann.
Hi Alan
Yes, we have very similar stories. I too had been married for 58 years. Like you, I have also done a creative writing course since retirement. I very much look forward to reading more of your work.
Very best wishes,
Ann
