Poetry readings are non-existent or virtual as we stay safe at home. I'm missing two scheduled poetry readings during this time, so here's a throwback to my first public poetry reading.

I was the only military spouse to write and share a poem, titled "Countdown from Deployment." This poem hasn't been published anywhere (not for lack of trying...), and I hold it close (to continue trying...). You're welcome to have a listen––and hang in there, because the audio is soft at the outset, then the sound picks up:
