Anne's poetry with music by Ron Gordon:
These poems are from Spells of Mending. They address issues common to growth and maturation. They are intended to spark thought and conversation. My hope is that listening to them will be emotionally deepening and contribute, generally, to healing and growth.
The poems do not replace medical or psychological diagnosis or treatment. They are entertainment not intervention. You are free to pass them by if they do not meet your needs or they upset you. Feel free to pass the links on to anyone that you think would enjoy them.
