Corner View: Experience


This is a book by a beloved friend of mine and fellow blogger, Caryjo.  You can get it from Amazon.  I have it on my Kindle Fire.  This is a fictional story based on true parts of her life. I've had it for quite awhile, but just started reading it.  It's a wonderful, Christian-based story about a young teenage-girl and the grandmother-type woman who reaches out to her.  The woman's name is Cary.
Joanne (or Caryjo as bloggers know her) uses her experiences to reach out and witness to others.


 A friend and blogger(who no longer has a blog but does Facebook), Nance introduced me to the poems of Ted Kooser.  He's a poet laureate of the United States and lives in Garland, Nebraska. He writes about everyday experiences in such a way that I can instantly relate.  Truly a wonderfully talented poet. This is my third and latest book of his.
The following are three poems from the book pictured.  The last poem has the same title as the book. I think most of us can relate to the experiences written about in the poems.

    When writers write from everyday experiences the words touch the heart because it's possible to relate to the situation described. That's especially so for me with the last extract.

    poetry is a mystery to me ... which makes this week's corner view sort of awkward :)
