POETIC PROSEDY

| Sherry West

I’m in a real live book!

Well, not ME, exactly. My poems! Which is MUCH better!

If there’s one thing a writer wants with all of their little writing heart, it’s to be PUBLISHED…newspapers, magazines, journals, books, online….but the very bestest thing of all is a BOOK (the more books the better).

And I’m (the poems) are in THIS one!

A Tarnished Silver Locket

Dining in Sin

Husband , You Sleep

Press Release. A lovely write up.

TIGER LILIES

Sherry West, Sherry West Art@2019

A black-orange stripey head 

Is peeking out at me

From that tiger lily –

What do you think I see?

Each lovely curly petal 

Is a tuft of hair

Framing a little face

From which he does stare.

A cheerful tiny tiger

Perched upon a stem –

It’s not just one little fella –

It’s a whole patch of them!

Surprise!

| Sherry West


Bored, I was foofing around on the internet and typed in the title of my book just to see what it might pull up, and THIS popped up!

I wasn’t aware that it would be up this early. I was under the impression it would be much closer to the ebook release date of July 2, 2019.

I’m not complaining! 😀

Tooty-Toot, Maisy!

Sherry West, SherryWestArt, 2019

When our daughter was small, we read her the Maisy the mouse books by Lucy Cousins.

In one of them, Maisy has a train.

Somewhere in the text it reads, “Tooty-toot, Maisy!” whenever the train blows it’s whistle.

So now, whenever someone is gassy, we all yell “Tooty-Toot, Maisy!”

Gabriel, a very typical seven-year-old boy, who just finished a bowl of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, is sitting in the large Lazy-boy with his little brother Rainier.

From way over there, I heard the very distinct sounds that send little boys (and their siblings) into gales of laughter.

I told him, “I heard that!”

Gabriel then said, “Imagine if You made a sound like that!”

Tooty-toot, Maisy!

It’s Raining Cats! It’s Raining Dogs! It’s Raining Bats! And Pollywogs!

| Sherry West

“It’s raining cats! It’s raining dogs! It’s raining bats! And pollywogs!

Here’s a zebra, there’s a moose, the zoo up there is turning loose,

Every animal that it can rain, and then some more come down again!”

It’s here!

The Design Team from my publisher, Morgan James Publishing, did an amazing job on the cover for my upcoming illustrated children’s book!

When I first saw it, I wanted to cry. It’s just beautiful!
