Lonely tucks me
in each night,
rubs my feet,
bares my thighs,
makes me blush,
wells my eyes,
rolls me over,
tends my lines,
feeds me fruit,
straight from the vine.
Lonely keeps me
satisfied.
About Me
- Linette Marie Allen
- Writing poetry is like breathing. It comes naturally to me, and I'm ever grateful for this gift. It's incredible because I've been writing for over two decades now. I wrote my first poem in kindergarden! Over the years, I've met people from all over the world, and remarkably, there is a simple common denominator: human emotions. Whether I'm having coffee with a friend in London or Stockholm, the bravado of emotions are the same: hurt feelings, the pain of rejection, the grief of a loved one, the anger of social injustice, the excitement of politics, and the frustration of religion. I get this. Through my poetry, I want to give voice to these precious emotions; I want to be a "voice crying out in the wilderness," connecting deeply to people's hearts, bringing an ever-lasting message of hope, faith and love. That's what I'm all about. So let my poems speak to you in a fresh, provocative way. Enjoy the blog!
