What is YOUR favorite season
-- winter, spring, summer or fall?
Here's a nice and easy one-minute short poem about a great small talk topic. Everyone cares about the seasons and the weather!
Small talk is a lost art, isn’t it? People are so shy and wary of talking to strangers. When you’re at the front desk, as I’ve been from time to time over the years, small talk is perfect for engaging with people. It’s friendly but not nosy.
People feel nostalgic for the seasons and what special things each season brings to life. Changes, cycles and transitions are in our human nature.
About this poem
The short rhyming poem, "The Best Season?", is one from my new collection of 36 poems, HOLD ME TIGHT (link to buy internationally). The book is available in hard cover and ebook formats. It’s gorgeous if I do say so myself. I love it!
Have you ever made a book? Or would you like to? It’s quite a journey, and I share it on this blog and in my enewsletter.
Minimalist aesthetic photo illustration
The poem is Illustrated here and in the book with a black and white photo of a flowering spring daffodil for a contemporary minimalist aesthetic.
In the book, each of the 36 poems shares a two-page spread with its own minimalist black and white photo collage illustration.
How did I make the book? People have been asking me, and I share all the details here in a blog post all about making and publishing the love poetry book. Here is the cover:
I’m experimenting with short mobile videos like the one above for sharing poems, blog posts and new paintings online.

The Outer Lands Archipelago is made up of all of the ancient islands along the East Coast created 30,000 years ago during the last Ice Age when the Labrador Glacier was halted by the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
The islands of the archipelago include New York’s Long Island, Block Island, Nantucket, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and many other stunning islands.
