Tea (written by Sarah Bennett) Tea doesn't solve problems, But keeps them at bay. Have a cup in early morning, Don't face the coming day. An old little favourite! Have a beautiful day, Sarah xx

Sunrise / Poem

September 28, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Sunrise (written by Sarah Bennett) the day was golden / if a bit insecure / the sky was hopeful of the dawn to follow / when no light was left / the rain bled through the cracks in the stars / we thirsted no more / our dreams became the new day / expectant / … Continue reading Sunrise / Poem

Fishing (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone gives me a compliment I did not ask for, And you say I’m fishing for it. Only I did not want what I caught, I did not eat what I caught, I threw it back into the ocean Where every other nice word said about me Has sunk to … Continue reading Fishing / Poem

Autumn (written by Sarah Bennett) autumn always feels the same / or / I always feel the same in autumn / stepping out into the evening is a swirling of loneliness / not the hopeless kind / the matter-of-fact kind / this does not scare me anymore / it’s like returning to an old friend … Continue reading Autumn / Poem

Gone / Poem

April 15, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

In this post I mentioned how I took some old blog posts and turned them into poems. Here’s the second one, rewritten from this post. Again, I didn’t change too much, mostly just the format. Although I didn't include the entire post but contained it so the poem conveys one message. Gone (Written by Sarah … Continue reading Gone / Poem

Jesus / Poem

April 2, 2021February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

Jesus (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone once asked if Jesus died from a bullet. They knew nothing of a cross, of the torture that lasted hour upon hour. They knew nothing of the cost or the blood of the Lamb. They thought He died in a second, Not knowing He was born to be sacrificed. … Continue reading Jesus / Poem

Reintroduction / Poem

February 25, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Reintroduction (written by Sarah Bennett) I am no longer scared to tell strangers that my dream is to be an author, Only the people who know me well enough to say my writing is not that good.
