February 13th My February 13 is slipping from inside the stall of a food hall.I serve couples who are touristsat the night’s singles partymen’s eyes feast attractive women wonderaround a hope to engage in connecting lines like poets matching words to couple internal rhymes: their luv is trying on a glove my hain’t is painting a sorrow tonight’s dream will not steam…

Well, it's Valentine's Day week. I wrote the draft of this poem a year ago Saturday and edited it into this version yesterday. Any thoughts? #poem #poetry #canadianpoet #writing #valetinesday #love #dating #singleslife

I like it. I hope it gets more traction. Keep on reposting every few days,eh? Maybe someone will choose to read it on tv? Maybe you could be a 3-minute guest on the morning news? Do letters to editors? Be on a Canadian podcast?

Knowing Light will soon embark

The ground is hard and it’s frozen.
My grass is dead where it lays.
Mr. Groundhog’s a corpse-icle down there.

Periodic Cicada - Michele Rule The magi cicada have been living quietly under my ribcage

A poem of mine published by @okaydonkey.bsky.social a while back - hope you enjoy it! ☺️ #canadianpoet #poetsofbluesky #cicada

An acrostic poem is printed over a soft pink sky and clouds. The message in the beginning letters of each line in the poem is Go Within Now. It ends with the URL stephanierossauthor.com

This was a playful poem to write. If you remember acrostics from childhood, let me know if you received the acrostic message♥️♥️
