Sixfold

June Dowis (JuneRoseDowis)

A love of nature, a heart for the underdog, and my prematurely “old soul” are constantly finding their way into my writing. My publications have covered the spectrum from acrostics to essays to a billboard haiku, and like many literary artists, I do have a novel I hope to one day see in print. My true passion however, is poetry, primarily contemporary works and haiku. It is my hope that when someone reads my work, they will feel less alone in the world, or say to themselves, “I’ve been there too.” Writing, poetry in particular, does no good collecting dust in a drawer; it is meant to be shared and experienced and if I’m so blessed, to touch a heart. This is my ultimate goal. Lord Byron (1788-1824) said it best, “but words are things, and a small drop of ink falling like dewdrops upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
