POETRY
The Story
What is it that fuels you creatively? For me, it is poetry. I love writing about my life in a creative way that I can share with others. Poetry can create an illustration, much like a painting, in the mind and can also bring up different emotions. I like that about poetry and I am going to publish some poetry here to share with you.
Miss Ann Finstad is truly my own little passion project, gaining more and more traction each day. I hope you enjoy browsing my site and all of the unique content I have to offer. Take a look around; perhaps you’ll discover what fuels you as well. Read on and enjoy!
HAIKU-CABIN STYLE
The leaves whisper words
The dome of the sky is blue
Tonight I will howl
A Short Japanese Haiku Poem By Ann Finstad
SUNSHINE IN THE COUNTRY
A poem by Ann Finstad
The sun is so bright and welcoming this morning I could drink it in through my skin.
​
Clouds linger by in a bright country blue sky.
​
Budding trees reach up tall to dust the sky with their new growth.
​
Sunshine pours over me like a waterfall of warmth and familiarity.
​
The grass glows green in the golden sunlight and my eyes wink into a smile as I soak it all in.
MOTH
A poem by Ann Finstad
Camouflaged and still you pretend I can't see you.
​
Planted firmly in place on my window, guarding the view.
​
I'd say, "hello" but I think you are sleeping.
It is late morning and the wind is whispering sounds across your wings of questions unanswered.
​
You can stay and guard my window. Enjoy the view!
MY FOREST
A poem by Ann Finstad
The forest is dense with unknowns and sounds unidentifiable by my urban female ear.
​
The forest goes on like time, never ending. The forest is full of life and creatures that call it home.
​
The forest is mine, we own much of what I can see. The forest will be my haven from the violence in the city, from the racism, the hate, and the crime.
​
The forest will wrap me up in its arms like a warm blanket on a cold night and cuddle my fears and worries away.
​
The forest is mine to explore. To gather knowledge and expand myself; the self.
​
The forest will be my home for however long it is allowed. I will keep it safe and it will keep me sound.
