Besides our one novel, by Raymond Storm, we are now open to publish poetry and other short creative pieces right here on our blog. If you wish to have your work published, please email it janet@ravenpublishing.net, and I will post it here as long as it meets our standards. I won't publish pornography or anything that exploits children.
For starters, here is a poem written about the grief of losing a loved one.
Grief
by Janet Muirhead Hill
With stealth, grief prowls
in the shadows of my mind
like a hunter
lurking
stalking
waiting
For just the right moment
to release its arrow
from a tightly strung bow
to pierce my consciousness
mid stride
I falter
waiver
bite my lip and turn away
to hide my tears
and falling face
until I can smile again,
shoving back memory's dart
and spurning it's bold sting
and proclaim
I am fine
Except in the shadows of my mind.
