Oct 28 THE 4TH ANNUAL DVWG POETRY MEETING by Lynette Tucker

Lynette Tucker

Poetry

They understand the power of words,

Laying traps for random thoughts.

Catching them on scraps of paper,

And breathing them to life.

Howard leads an annual hunt

Searching for the perfect verse.

They gather at the appointed time

Bringing their trophies to share.

They tell their life stories or create lives yet untold

Scribbling down sagas and whispers of worlds new and old

They are the dreamers, they are the poets

The writers of lines, hunters of tetrastich.

Sights and smells, feelings, touches, tastes

Nothing is safe from their pens.

Laughter, tears, sorrows, and joys

Preserved for generations to come.

Lynette Tucker has always been a writer at heart. From an early age she has had a love of words. In second grade, she developed a love of poetry, and in high school, pursued creative writing classes. As an adult, writing had to take backseat to the busyness of life. But now, she is returning to one of her first loves. She has several poems and short stories published through her membership with the Diamond Valley Writers Guild. Lynette is also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators and the Northwest Christian Writers Association.
