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.

Cynthia,
Thank you for your kind words - it means a lot to me as I love the way you write.
Very best wishes,
Ann
I've just been reading more of your poems. This one, like many of your other poems, relates to how I feel. I, like you, get great comfort from other poets on Family Friends. Writing about my feelings during my husband's terminal illness and subsequent death, was a great help to me, as I understand it was for you too. Very best wishes, Ann.
I remember it well! You have captured it all beautifully. Very best wishes, Ann.
I'm so sorry - it's terrible to lose someone you love, whether it's death or separation. My husband died over a year ago and I still miss him dreadfully - like you, I wish I had spent more time telling him how much he was loved by me.
Very best wishes, Ann.
I've only just found this poem of yours - I like it very much. I must look out for more of your work. Very best wishes, Ann.
