Each month we will be featuring a guest writer and this month is Mary-Sue Searles. When we asked Mary for a little information about her writing she responded with "I wrote a poem as a dare in my mid-20s and continued for a few years sporadically. I quit writing for about 30 years. However, last year I turned 60 and it was so traumatic a time for me that I just had to vent. I wrote. And I cannot quit. I spend every second writing or, if not writing, thinking about the next several poems. " We have published poems by Mary-Sue two other times. You can find them #1 and #2

.

Unspoken, you ask if I love you. Call to me; ready is my answer. Should you bid me today, I am prepared, and yours. Instruct me nay in my excitement; My hands and mind quickly quieten. You need me not this moment? I go then to search for what your needs might be tomorrow.
