HELLO, AND WELCOME I have been writing poetry most of my life.  This is my passion and I am happy to share it with you.My poetry stems from my emotional response to the world. I attempt to go to the core of my being and write what I feel so deeply about.   It may not be logical and hopefully is not.  I prefer to give emphasis to how I feel about life, love and how it affects me and those around me.I graduated from the University of Kentucky, Lexington, as an Art Studio major in painting.I have a great passion for the arts and hopefully those that wander upon this site may enjoy my passion for a brief while. Thank you for your visit.

FADED RECALL Why are reflections always so fond, Memories more beautiful than when real, Moments remembered lovelier than lived, While thoughts revived are just as painful, And do not seem to fade or be easily forgot, Why do things seem what they were not?

SONNET: FOND REFLECTIONS Lights that shine upon the water Glimmer softly, glimmer low How their spell so well invites me How sweetly, how delightful To make me think of thoughts of old, Too soon wisdom fades, too soon, too old To make use of its language cold Too many tears cried too heavy To think of happiness and to grin, However, still we shall win As former thoughts turn back again Back to spring, back to fall Back to where our hearts were walls That kept all the river’s water in. © Debra J Stuart 2011 Worldwide.
