A Penny for Your Thoughts: Poems of Love and Loss (Feelings Into Words)

Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the words of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a former teacher and award-winning author.

Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. “As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years.”

There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails … (Love & Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. Some poems are simply plays on words.

A Sign

In the depths of my winter

I heard a small bird –

Braving the cold,

Bringing the word.

He gave my heart hope

As I heard him sing –

Three little notes

Promising spring.
