Poetry Corner of Ann B. Blake, Ph.D.

Poetry, expression of soul and spirit, provides a foundation for my life as a teacher, psychologist, and woman. The following poets (and so many more) inspire me in my work with students and clients. I hope you enjoy these poems; please feel free to send poems to add to the blog. Please see the following links; the first four links are my other blogs; the fifth link is the professional organization to which I belong. The sixth link provides information about weekly poetry events.

Sky Reflects Autumn

By Christine Kysely

Sky reflects Autumn
leaves dancing amongst bright clouds
Golden autumn sun 
mirrors glorious color
Gray skies on near horizon
