Coming Together--By Caryl Calsyn--United States

Coming Together

I recently wrote a poem about the Olympics;
about nations coming together in peace.

Then I thought about the Whispers Journal;
about nations coming together with words.

Not just any words, but words that touch the
heart, make us think, and bring us together.

In our own way, through Whispers, we further
peace and understanding in a troubled world.

Caryl Calsyn is a retired Interior Designer who only began writing poetry about five years ago. About three years ago, she began submitting to publishers. Her first try was accepted, and she now has 124 that have been published. She is a board member for the county historical commission and the local museum.  She sings in a chorale and her church choir and loves family gatherings.
