Poem – Her Dragon

Her Dragon By Robin A. Burrows He came strong The dragon she never thought she’d see again No longer trapped in a youngling body His breath searing the brittle landscape Flames sprang to life and engulfed the land around her Burning the distance He came back for her He came back to do the one … Continue reading »

Blog: Stop wishing and start being in 2012

Happy New Year. Welcome to 2012. It’s been a long time since I’ve made a New Year’s resolution. I don’t see the point of making a resolution just because the seasons have cycled back around again.

Blog: What Is In a Name?

What is in a name? People can go by so many different things. But is a true name less of an actual name and more a word for the person’s soul? I got married earlier this year and took my husband’s last name for my personal life. It has felt quite odd to be called … Continue reading »
