I’d like to welcome good bud and fellow
author D. L. Finn with her new release JUST HER POETRY Seasons of a Soul. I just started reading this and it is truly lovely. The poems scoop you up and sit you in the middle of nature.
Thank
you, Sandra, for having me on your blog to celebrate the release of my first
poetry book, “Just Her Poetry Seasons of a Soul." To tell your followers a little about myself here are some
Finn Facts:
1.
I am a huge fan of “Happily Ever After” in
movies and books.
2.
I proudly have my great-grandparents 50th
Anniversary Cake Topper in my china cabinet. I plan to use it for my own
50th Wedding Anniversary!
Blurb:
Take
a journey with D.L. Finn as she blends her love of nature with her deepest
emotions. Sit with her on the forest floor observing its tranquil beauty, or
stroll along the ocean’s shore admiring the vastness of its horizon. Here in
these peaceful moments you’ll be able to experience her thoughts and feelings
in the light—and in the darkness. This is a thought-provoking collection of
poetry that invites the reader into all the seasons of a soul.
Excerpt
from NATURE Spring and Summer:
PLANT
Today is the
first warm day of spring
I step outside
excited to sit in the sun
The bare trees
are starting to bud
Green pine
needles reach for the clear blue sky.
Birds are
singing, while gathering for their nests
The bees find
daffodils and lilies to satisfy their hunger
The bear has
awakened from its winter nap,
Tipping over its
first full garbage can.
Pine cones
scattered amongst those littered from fall
The air heavy
with rebirth, it’s time to plant my seeds
Not just
introducing them to the soil, but in my mind
To grow and
thrive like the magical landscape around me
Nurtured in love
and hope for another season of growth
When mistakes and
lessons are the fertile base
As I reach for
the stars with my dreams
Spring reminds me
that all is possible if you just plant it.
D.L.
Finn is an independent California local who encourages everyone to embrace
their inner child. She was born and raised in the foggy Bay Area, but in 1990
relocated with her husband, kids, dogs, and cats to the Sierra foothills in
Nevada City, CA. She immersed herself in reading all types of books, but
especially loved romance, horror, and fantasy. She always treasured creating
her own reality on paper. Finally, being surrounded by towering pines, oaks,
and cedars, her creativity was nurtured until it bloomed. Her creations vary
from children’s books, young adult fantasy, and adult paranormal romance to an
autobiography with poetry. She continues on her adventures with an open
invitation for her readers to join her.

Love the nature poem and nature is so calming to the soul. Congrats on the book, reaching the 50th anniversary one day and why not have a happy ending?
It's great to see Denise here! And a huge jumping-up-and-down wave to Sandra, too. Hope all is well with you :)
Denise's book is a beautiful collection of poetry with vividly imagined images that made me wish I was there. The nature poems especially resonated with me, but I loved the entire collection. Congrats to Denise on this awesome release!
I liked the idea of anything possible if we just plant it. Best wishes, Denise. Thank you, Sandra for hosting todya.
It is a lovely treasurer, isn't it, Jan?
Yes on all the above:)
Good to see you, Mae:)
Agree completely. I'm loving what I've read so far.
Isn't that a wonderful idea? Maybe we should stick a couple of our books in the ground. Heh.
My pleasure, John;)
You're wonderful to support us Indie authors, Sandra. I have to confess: I'm a nut about Westerns and grabbed yours. A bargain for $.99!
Thank you Jan. Im happy to read you enjoyed the poem:) It is a treasure that almost got thrown away. Only fifteen years to go!
Thanks Birgit! Nature does sooth the soul:) It would be a very happy ending to hit a 50th Wedding Anniversary!
Thanks, Mae:) Still doing my happy dance here, but inside now its gotten too cold in the rain!
Thank you, John:) we do have a lot of positive seed to get planted this season!
That's a great idea Sandra to plant our books deeply in the soil and the rain and sun take over.
Sandra is a bigger supporter, Jacqui I agree. Both westerns are floating to the top of my TBR list and .99 is a steal!
Oh my, Denise, the image of the bear tipping over the first full trash can is mesmerizing. It's that time of the year, and you've captured it so beautifully in your poem. Thank you for hosting, Sandra. :)
Thank you, Gwen. The bear has already made a stop at our house this year:)
I admire those who approach a long term marriage and ask what the trick was. Lovely verse and good luck with future works.
What a wonderful sentiment to have your grandparent's 50th Anniversary topper with plans to reuse it! Another awesome poem, Denise! Thank you for hosting, Sandra!
Jacqui, you just made my day:)
Congrats on your new release. Looks intriguing! Let me know if you want to post it here.
Beautiful poetry, the book sounds good!
Thanks, Denise:) I love floating to the top of your TBR list...I know its a long one:)
Entirely my pleasure, Gwen. Thanks for stopping by and supporting Denise.
Partners in long term marriages definitely deserve kudos.
The verse is lovely as is the rest in the book.
Entirely my pleasure, Jan. Thanks for stopping by to support, Denise.
I can attest:) It is.
I was lucky to have my great grandparents and in-laws as guides of long and happy marriages:) Thank you for the well wishes and I'm glad you enjoyed the poem!
Thank you Jan. My aunt was going to throw it away and I couldn't let that happen. Its inspiring to have. Glad you enjoyed the poem Jan:)
Thank you Christine! Happy to hear you enjoyed the poem.
Denise, I see al the spring delights except the bears.
Thank you for hosting, Sandra.
Hi Miriam:) The bears ate back with Spring making messes...lol.
Congrats!! The book sounds amazing! I love the poetry! So beautiful! I do hope you use the cake topper!
Big Hugs Sandra!
Totally my pleasure, Miriam:)

All the best Jan
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Yes I plan to use the topper in 15 years:)
Thank you Jan:)
Wow! I love this poem; it's so perfect for this time of year (and it reminds me I need to plan my garden!) Vivid enough to feel the warm sunshine on my face. Good luck with this one, Denise!
Thank you! I'm glad it makes you feel the sun on your face:) I can't wait to get out in my garden too! My daffodils are just starting to open up. Thanks for the well wishes.
I think this is right up my alley! Thanks for posting this. :)
