I also want to thank the folks over at Poets United for their continued support.

The Sky’s Not Falling!
To maintain her poetic sanity
Chicken Little tried not to gag when rejection slips fell from the sky,
instead she tried to omit such thunderous thoughts
wash them away with renewed hope for sunshine tomorrow.

Poke Away Rain
Last time we met I turned around
your icy pokes a curious kid,
~poke~ “Excuse me” ~poke~ “Excuse me”
your icy pokes a curious kid,
~poke~ “Excuse me” ~poke~ “Excuse me”
~poke~
~poke~
~poke~
~Sigh~ “Can’t you see I’m busy?”
~poke~
~Sigh~ “Can’t you see I’m busy?”
You wouldn’t leave me alone
wallowing in nonstop tears
throwing temper tantrums-
I wanted you to go away.
But then I missed you
needed your cooling comfort
to quell the fires spreading fear.
I prayed for you, danced in circles
I knew you’d come in your own time
and you did today.
Thank you rain,
poke away.

Thanks... Chicken Little is my hero = )
One smart chicken!
That's right. She should keep her beak up!
I have the same poke and growl relationship with my kids. They drive me nuts but I still want them around.
I just read your interview and really enjoyed it, as well as your poems!
Oh, I like these two. Chicken Little, the eternal optimist now!
As for the rain poem - delightful!
Congrats on your recognition.. gret writer like you deserve it!

Chicken Little was right... the rain did finally come. Thanks!
Even Henny Penny needs a friend that has faith in him.
This is a great post ... we had some rain in Central Texas yesterday ... it was a glorious reprieve!!
Enjoyed your interview. Kudos for you! \\(^o^)//
Very clever and amusing enjoyed these very much. My summer has been lots of rain and often in 50s, which doesn't feel all that much like summer
always loved the story of Chicken Little...He knew what time it was......nice job - on both...kept me entertained and smiling....
