Neely-Dorsey: February – Love Is In The Air!

I write A LOT about love!

My poetry writing started in full bloom with a love poem. My first dozen or so poems were all love poems.

I wrote my very first poem “Our Place” February 14, 2007.

I woke up out of my sleep with that poem swirling around in my head. I, quickly, got up and scribbled it down. After that the poems just started to flow and flow.

Actually, all of the poems that I write could be categorized as love poems, of sorts. Most of the poems stem from my deep love for the people, culture and lifestyle of Mississippi and the South.

One reviewer dubbed my first collection of poetry, Reflections of Mississippi Magnolia, a “love letter to the south”.

I wholeheartedly agreed with that description. I later wrote a poem with that title.

In my second book, My Magnolia Memories and Musings, and in all of my poems, the love affair continues.
