marshmallows drop
like snowflakes into her cup-
we practice counting
mittens hang
from the mantle, and I, on
her every word...
epiphany-
icicle rhymes
with tricycle

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.
Nice group. Gentle, but not sentimental.

An excellent set Kristin. The second poem here is one of the most moving I have read in a while.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet friends! Thank you all so much for your kind comments. This set meant a lot to me as I wrote it. With the anticipation of our second baby's arrival growing and growing, I have found myself falling in love with my little girl more and more as well. She's going to be a wonderful big sister and she's such a gift.
