Field Days {a Collection of Poems}

| Allison

Hello friends!

Recently I’ve been writing some down memories of farm life from my growing-up years – there are so many good stories to preserve! I wanted to share a few of those poems with you today.

Since many of the experiences in these sketches happened within the history of this blog, I dug through the archives and chose some (very old) photos to re-edit for the post. If you’ve been following for long enough, you may recognize some of the pictures or experiences in the poems.

Enjoy a trip back to my childhood. 🙂

Hello, my friends!

Since you guys really seemed to enjoy my last poetry post, I thought it was about time for another one! One of these days I’m going to put these poems and a bunch more into another book, but for now, enjoy some pretty words and pictures here on my blog.

Today I have six new poems: some are stories, some are thoughts, some are from my own experiences, and all are for you. 🙂 Have fun!

A Small Collection of Recent Poetry

| Allison

Hello, my friends!

I was looking through my blog archives and oh my goodness, has it really been two years since I did a poetry post like this?? Well it’s past time for another one, then! I’ve been storing up a collection of poetry in my notebook for such a time as this. 🙂

Today I have ten new poems for you guys, accompanied by pretty pictures. I hope you enjoy slowing down for a moment and reading something a bit more serious and thoughtful than usual. ❤

Spring in Bloom {Redbud Photography + a Poem}

| Allison

Hello, dears!

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE! The world is looking green and pink and yellow and lovely around here, and I’m so happy about it. The redbud in front of our house is in full bloom, so of course I took a heap of photos. 😉 I hope you enjoy this explosion of pink, along with a few pictures of me playing around with the lacy shadows and trying not to squint too much in the bright sun. 😛

There’s not a whole lot to say by way of captions, so I decided to let the photos speak for themselves, and weave in a springy poem I wrote instead. (I got this idea partly from Clara’s lovely post here!)

I hope you guys enjoy reading this as much as I thoroughly enjoyed making it. 🙂
