Jennifer presents a poignant collection of micro-poetry on DifferentTruths.com, capturing fleeting, everyday moments of wonder, nostalgia, and emotional awakening.
my cat
relishing a spider web
feline cotton candy
***
diving off the dock
the shock of cold
takes my breath away
***
bicycles
down the middle of the street
childhood formation
***
raindrops
on my tin roof
murmuration
***
weeping willow
catches full moon
in her evening net
***
waking to the weekend
the days are delineated again
back to school
***
the elusive marble
under my couch
just out of reach...
***
slowing down
to get it right
r-h-y-t-h-m
***
at 62
my first art opening
my heart a firework
***
at the shelter
she rescues me
we heal together

Jennifer Gurney, based in Colorado, teaches, paints, writes, and hikes. Her poems have appeared internationally in 11 books and won two contests. They have also been set to music, displayed on screens in Australia, printed in Washington, D.C., shared through the Rx Poetry project, and featured on a bus in Wisconsin. A lifelong writer, she says that at 62, joy and sorrow finally give her enough depth to write a decent poem now and then.
