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.

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

A wonderful truly well known poem. Oh to be able to write poetry like that...
I really liked this poem including the title. It holds a lovely message. I look forward to reading more of your poetry. Best wishes, Ann.
So true. An excellent comparison. I always love spending time by water, whether it's the sea, a lake, pond, river or stream.
I find your poems very moving, especially this one. I'm glad that, like me, you find writing poetry helps you through some difficult times. Best wishes, Ann.
Oh my goodness, Patricia, you have been busy commenting on my poems lately. So kind and thoughtful - much appreciated. Your good friend, Ann.
