Bio

Linda Conroy, a retired social worker, likes to write about the connection between human nature and the natural world, and to observe the changing times. She enjoys trying new poetry forms and is the author of two poetry collections, Ordinary Signs, and Familiar Sky.

She
says
the news
is good to
share, but he, so shy
beseeches, "don't go overboard
in your delight, as we don't know yet when it will be."
She, in typical excitement, wants to shout the message now before the news gets cold
which is not to say she doesn't think about the ways
this might be done, to erase his
worry, to bring him
happiness
in their
new
joy
