Embracing change through poetry
The Brummets began writing professionally in 1999 and wanted to use this as a tool to create positive change and motivate readers to lead more proactive lives. ?According to Lillian: ????Poetry has the unique application of allowing the writer to express their own hopes, dreams or pains, and to explore the creative use of words, rhythms, fantasies, truths and rhymes.?
The couple? team? up ?to share his poetry in ?the book rhythm and rhyme. Your different writing styles are at their best in this amazing? collection – celebrating nature, questioning society, expressing pain and embracing love.? “Some of the poetry in this book reflects on the emotional turmoil of sick parents, long-term care, the harrowing period of waiting to know the end is near, and the eventual hurt of their passing. Other poems speak of the strange emptiness that remains when old wounds are healed. You will also find poems that celebrate life, music, love, animals and nature.
Keep the change? – by D. Brummet?
Looking out my window at the silent park
The rain is falling through the misty dark
I would sit and smoke a cigarette
but I have no light
you don’t even feel like
go to town tonight
I went back to my hometown, nothing seemed the same
I took a look, but I didn’t know anyone by name.
The fields have sprouted buildings
The roads have thickened
With the frenetic flow of traffic
That don’t seem to stop
It’s not the same, as time goes by
Things will evolve, good or bad.
There’s no choice for you to make
There’s no other path for fate to take
but you can choose
to keep the change
You can keep the change
I try to do finance but I can’t get it in my head
That if I don’t get it I won’t have anything when I die
Keeping up with the Joneses
There’s no time to stop and play
How can you be a child again?
If you have to grow today
Looking through my porthole where there used to be a park
The nozzles spray some moisture, the lights go off in the dark.
If I go out they will find me
And try to do me good
So I stay here in my cubicle
And hide all night
Camping vacation? – By L. Brummet?
shower sounds
undulation
Laughter
pouring water
Moving around rocks and branches
Like flames around logs
hitting rocks
pound
Drowning out all other sounds
except the rusty wind
through branches where
The birds scream and play
And the resounding answer
rings
Like chimes in my heart?.?
