Welcome to where I am, where my kitchen's always messy, a pot's (or a poet) always about to boil over, a dog is always begging to be fed. Drafts of poems on the counter. Windows filled with leaves. Wind. Clouds moving over the mountains. If you like poetry, books, and music--especially dog howls when a siren unwinds down the hill-- you'll like it here.


MY NEW AUTHOR'S SITE, KATHRYNSTRIPLINGBYER.COM, THAT I MYSELF SET UP THROUGH WEEBLY.COM, IS NOW UP. I HAD FUN CREATING THIS SITE AND WOULD RECOMMEND WEEBLY.COM TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN SETTING UP A WEBSITE. I INVITE YOU TO VISIT MY NEW SITE TO KEEP UP WITH EVENTS RELATED TO MY NEW BOOK.


MY NC POET LAUREATE BLOG, MY LAUREATE'S LASSO, WILL REMAIN UP AS AN ARCHIVE OF NC POETS, GRADES K-INFINITY! I INVITE YOU TO VISIT WHEN YOU FEEL THE NEED TO READ SOME GOOD POEMS.

VISIT MY NEW BLOG, MOUNTAIN WOMAN, WHERE YOU WILL FIND UPDATES ON WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY KITCHEN, IN THE ENVIRONMENT, IN MY IMAGINATION, IN MY GARDEN, AND AMONG MY MOUNTAIN WOMEN FRIENDS.

MAGPIE TALES: DANCING WITH GANESH


Here's to Ganesh, the Hindu Elephant god, who's ready to have a good time, thanks to Willow's Magpie Tales' writing prompt.


DANCING WITH THE STARS


Ganesh
The Remover of Obstacles
leaps

from the mouse
on which he has been riding
for centuries

shakes off his god- garb
rattles the universe
and rolls the wind up

like a rug from the dance floor
where he does The Funky Pachyderm
Bollywood style

to a standing ovation
on this evening’s Our Galaxy’s Got Talent
for three perfect scores

from the judges
who say he’s the biggest
star they’ve ever had on the show!
