With the sun rising behind me, I had the pleasure of reading three poems this morning, written by three talented poets: Ingrid Wilson, Khaya Ronkainen, and Cheryl Batavia. Their poetry collections have offered a lovely respite from summer's intensity. Please visit their author bios below and if not familiar with their work I encourage you to visit their sites and learn more. Thank you for stopping by!

Note: My sincerest apologies to Khaya for mispronouncing the word "chibuku" ~ hopefully my randomly adding a few letters gives her a chuckle. I would have done a second take, but my phone was getting hot. Already 90 degrees just before 8 AM. Today is expected to be 112 degrees. 😱
