I wrote a poem about lies & liars many, many moons ago while sitting in a meeting listening to lies. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Here's a snippet.

I'll be facilitating a seminar at the ASU's Summer Writing Summit.

In the session, we'll practice focused observation and explore the art of haiku, translating fleeting moments into poetry and images.

If you're in the area, join us. It's free!

My lilies inspire when they return each spring. I wrote "Transitions" last May.

Short poem entitled "Free" written by Chandra Tyler Mountain. It reads: Oh, there is something in me that aches to be uncaged and free!

It's crazy how a poem I wrote as a youth can express how I'm feeling today--decades later.

Poem by Chandra Lynn Tyler entitled "Gentle Rage"

There's a peaceful war
a silent battle,
a gentle raging
taking place;
involved are my mind
and my heart.
I can do nothing to put it to an end.
If it ends, it ends.
Victory will be the conclusion.
Defeat will be the outcome.

Written at age 15. Can be found in poetry collection, Musings from My Younger Self, by Chandra Lynn Tyler

I wrote this fun list poem last year as a warmup exercise on the Ides of March...

@blueskypoetry.bsky.social

Poem entitled The Ides of March written by Chandra Tyler Mountain. The poem reads:

On this day Julius Caesar was betrayed by friend turned foe. The lessons in Caesar’s demise
are three: Listen to your wife. Watch your back. Beware the Ides of March.

Green and purple circle pattern art with Alice Walker quote from the novel, The Color Purple. Quote reads: I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.

I did #kaleidoscope art every day in Feb for the #30daycreativegathering on FB. The last week coincided with the first week of the #100dayproject, so I'll continue with daily kaleidoscope for another week at least--or maybe the full 100 days. 😊
