About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.
Line-1 is so familiar...just that rest of the scene changes....reading blogs and commenting is a way that i release :)

Wow, like different side, but of the same coin, you are so good Kristin, hang in there x
ReplyDeleteTimeless! This speaks to me so deeply Kristin, I feel I'm there with you somehow.
ReplyDeleteDevika and Lorraine...thank you! I treasure your comments as always!
ReplyDeletePaul...Thank you, also...so glad that someone else can relate. Sometimes these poems take time and it's a real process. Other times they seem to come out of the air already complete and in no need of revising...this was one of those for me...and those are very special. They are like little gifts. So glad it spoke to you as well. :)
___I like those words that just spill out, and slop their way to the notebook; those instant thoughts, forever kept. And believe me... often I work with the deadwood of my own thoughts. _m
