Writing and Poetry

SUNSHINE IN THE WEEDS

A lyrical odyssey into the human heart, where love, faith, and nature intertwine. Deb Irsik’s debut poetry evokes emotions and takes you on a journey from shadows to sunshine. Explore the bonds of family, the healing power of nature, and discover the divine in the smallest moments of life.

This is a short description of my poetry collection, Sunshine in the Weeds. I am honored that those who have read my manuscript have such beautiful words to describe it.

Since we have had a good amount of snow and winter weather will share a winter poem that appears in the collection.

Winter Clouds

Barren boney-fingered trees

Reach to the heavens

Searching for

Life in winter clouds

Brooding dark filtering light

Holding back the warmth of the sun,

Teasing

With glorious sunrises

Sunsets that dazzle

Waiting for the melting

Season

Heavy with snow or icy rain

Turning the boney fingers

Into a crystal wonderland

Sometimes

Dumping random mounds

Of white, Cossack hats

Accents to counter

Starkness

Winter clouds the canopy

In nature’s rhythm

A time to gather strength

Storing nourishment preparing

Sun

Breaks through the gray quilt

And warms the earth

A peek at the fluff of white

Soon

Light will come with

The thunderheads of

Spring

And

Summer skies
