January 2026: New Year, New Work, New Opportunities

British Virgin Islands
2026 has started off with new opportunities and I continue to create new pieces. I must shout out Legendary Ink for sharing prompts that challenge my abilities. I am grateful to Pulse Poetry Magazine and Spillwords for their ongoing support of my work. I am thankful to Poet-Tree Imagazine, waxpoetryart.com and Krafty Page ChronicleS for supporting my work. I've shared poetry on ZBVI Radio, at a school and at a church event. I am happy for every opportunity to share my poems. I cannot say enough to recognize everyone who has encouraged me in this journey.

I have three poems in Poet-Tree Imagazine Issue No. 5: Conventional Wisdom, Your Heart Spoke My Name and Only You.

New Poem

I Want to Dance

I want to dance with you
because as I’ve come to know you
my feelings grew
and burst into something
I can’t contain
you’re all up in my brain
and when the music starts
it jiggles my heart
to want to step in tune with you
each rhythmic pulse
inspires me to move closer
and ask you to dance
I will extend my hand
with the hope that you will take my waist
so we can wine and dip
in intimate steps
so intense that the dance floor
becomes ours only
our retreat – our peace
arm in arm
step to step
