Nature

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Crow

Big black crow 

Strong claws 

Grasp bird-bath-rim.

Blue Jay

Blue Jay on tree dive-bombs

At crow-eye.

Duck, crow!

Blue Jay

Whoosh

Then back the other way,

Duck, crow!

Crow flies away

Blue Jay squawks victory.

Elderberry

Frilly white flowers of elderberry

Tremble in the wind. 

Elderberries stain purple 

Sustain mocking birds

Winemakers covet berries

Homemakers stir into a jam

OTC medicine works for a cold. 

God’s provision.

Wild Weeds

Wild Weeds

With yellow flowers

Which grow into bright orange pods

That burst to show shiny red seeds 

Potato vine leaf a perfect heart

Grapevines heart-shaped too

glowing pink in the setting sun

DiVoran has been writing for most of her life. Her first attempt at a story was when she was seven years old and her mother got a new typewriter. DiVoran got to use it and when her dad saw her writing he asked what she was writing about. DiVoran answered that she was writing the story of her life. Her dad’s only comment was, “Well, it’s going to be a very short story.” After most of a lifetime of writing and helping other writers, DiVoran finally launched her own dream which was to write a novel of her own. She now has her Florida Springs trilogy and her novel, a Christian Western Romance, Go West available on Amazon. When speaking about her road to publication, she gives thanks to the Lord for all the people who helped her grow and learn.  She says, “I could never have done it by myself, but when I got going everything fell beautifully into place, and I was glad I had started on my dream.”
