HERE, WHERE I AM: Mother Nature

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.

STUDENT POET OF THE DAY: AMELIA OWENS

(Native American depiction of Mother Nature that hangs in my office.)

As a beautiful sunny day dawns in the mountains, 8th grader Amelia Owens reminds us of the the Earth that graces us with this beauty.

WHO AM I?

Who am I?

I have blown through your hair

And I have touched your cheek.

Who am I?

I have shone on your face

And my tears run down your skin.

Who am I?

I have been in a vase on your dining room table.

You can see me out the window.

Who am I?

I am in everything

And you can find me everywhere.

Who am I?

I have nurtured you

and supplied everything for animals and mankind.

I have been your mother ever since forever.

Who am I?

I am Mother Nature.
