Writer Wednesday: Rosemary O'Brien

In honor of Writer Wednesday, I've decided to share with you the poems that woman writer Rosemary O'Brien submitted to me for Workerette.com's women writers publicity opportunity.

If you're a professional writer who'd like some exposure, or a small business owner with expertise to share, don't forget to email me for submission guidelines.  It's very easy to gain some free publicity and offer your fellow small- and home-based business operators a glance at what you do in a day, your thoughts on building a business, or your expertise in a niche or exciting field!  You can comment here on SmallBizMentor.com or email me at Melonie[at]SmallBizMentor.com.

This talented writer and poet can also be caught blogging or sharing her other talents over at her website.  Be sure to tell her I sent you if you pop by for a visit!  For now, sit back and enjoy several of Rosemary's lovely works.

With Age

 

Ó 1998 Rosemary O’Brien

Used by Permission.

 

It comes with age

 

this peace,

 

this calm,

 

this knowing

 

I will be able

 

to slay

 

any dragon

 

who follows me home.

 

I know this

 

because

 

I have slain

 

dragons

 

before.

 

 

 

 

Marking The Weight

 

Ó 1992 Rosemary O’Brien

Used by Permission.

 

 

...And all the while

 

I remembered that

 

helpless feeling ...

 

 

That black cloud

 

penetrating every minute

 

of every day and night.

 

 

The moment when I woke

 

and the weight crashed down

 

upon me

 

like a safe dropped out of a window

 

in some old movie.

 

 

That instant when they told us

 

they had done all they could.

 

 

  And the weight lifted.

 

 

     And the cloud dissipated.

 

 

That feeling that God had

 

other plans for him,

 

in another place

 

where I couldn't follow.
