As a part of my Master's program, I am writing poetry again. I haven't written much of anything poetic for a long time. I haven't had much reason to. The poems we have been expected to write are based on very specific forms of poetry, such as the triangle triplet, haiku, quadrangle, terquain and so on. Since I love to write poetry and form does not bother me, this project has been a blessing compared to many of the others.
When time allows, I will post some of the poems I have written recently. They come from a book I titled, "6 Going on 7" which reflects my youngest daughter's joy in growing up.
If all goes well, in the not-too-distant future (2 months maybe), I should have this book available for sale. I have undertaken yet another project which now puts me in the driver's seat for publishing books. I am the owner of Vaughan Instant Publishing, LLC. My goal will be to assist aspiring authors/writers in getting their written works in print.
So, be prepared to revisit your childhood... and hopefully the best parts of it.

Here is poem #1 from the book:
Her hand in mine in winter
Cold and soft, small and trusting
We walk to school each morning
Our breath in white puffs escapes
As we talk of teachers and friends
Sharing our lives along the way
