Small Pleasures

4/11/2025

Hello, blog friends ~

I'm excited to showcase the latest Poetry Treasures edition: Poetry Treasures 5: Small Pleasures.

The collection includes poems by many of your favorite writers: David Bogomolny, Kaye Lynne Booth, Robbie Cheadle, Colleen Chesebro, Elizabeth Gauffreau, Jude Itakali, Barbara Leonhard, Michelle Navajas, Dawn Pisturino, Ivor Steven, and Margaret Watson. And, you might notice my poems as well.

Kaye and Robbie organized, edited, and compiled the collection. And Teagan Geneviene provided her artistry -- the book cover, the beautiful image above, and the heartwarming trailer. Together these three talented women created a jewel of a book. If you love poetry, this volume is a must. You can purchase it at Amazon and a multitude of other distributors.

Check out the trailer:

Don't you love the baby's smiles? This little one can brighten anyone's day.

There are plenty of Small Pleasures threaded throughout this book.
Kindle version available now.

That's a profound poem. The memories of the past shapes us and if they fade like a dream we lose connection and the sense of time. It sounds like a very interesting poetry collection.
