Böcker av Ronda Miller

MoonStain describes the blood moon as it shines through tree leaves, marking the long hours of a sleepless night as it spreads from one point to another on a young child's bedroom floor. In this collection of poetry, Miller weaves stories of life, death, and love through her poetry, primarily narrative in form. From glimpses of her childhood home on her grandparents' farm to images of a woman's life, her loves, her losses, we learn of life's stains, of moments that shape and become a part of one woman's voice. Ronda Miller is a poet and Life Coach. Born in Ft. Collins, Colorado, she was raised on her grandparents' farm in the high plateau region of NW Kansas. She holds degrees in Human Development and Creative Writing from the University of Kansas. She is a Fellow of the Citizen Journalism Academy and a district president and current board member of the Kansas Authors Club.

Book Description: Flash Poems offers an anthology of poems and the prompts that inspired them. These 100-plus thought-provoking prompts will help you manage writer's block and have fun in creative exploration.Whether you're an aspiring writer or a subject-matter expert, a blogger or a songwriter, a freelancer or a novelist, you're bound to find inspiriation in these pages.This collection of unedited poems inspired by prompts and written in ten to fifteen minutes represents many pleasant Sunday afternoons at the Second Sunday Goes Fourth writing group. Iris Craver, the founder of the group, was leading a poetry writing group for inmates at the Douglas County Jail. She thought it would be fun to also have a community writing group. We meet on the second and fourth Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m., thus the name Second Sunday Goes Fourth. There are usually 6 to 10 writers around the table.Our rules are simple. No self-deprecation is allowed. We don't critique others' writings. Appreciation and enthusiasm are encouraged. We keep a bowl full of writing prompts that we all contribute. When the pens are laid down we read around the table. Reading is always optional. One of our great pleasures is listening to what each of us has written and to see how our approaches are similar or different. There are always poems that are breathtaking in each round. We hope you enjoy these poems and try your hand at writing from the prompts. You can use the prompts or even pull a line from any of the poems to get you started in a flash! If any reader is interested in starting a community writing group, let us know by contacting the publisher! Have fun!Contributors include: Deborah Altus, Micki Carroll, Iris Craver, Kimberli Eddins, Louie Galloway, Katherine Greene, Sandy Hazlett, Joanne C.
