"Words have power. They can heal or hurt. They can be a soothing salve after a heated battle, or they can be the weapon with which that battle is fought." ~ DONNA ~

"I like this, Miss Donna! I could see, in my minds eye, the children playing with their dog and having a good old time. That's what I love about authors and poets like yourself... (the ability) to paint images in our minds with your words. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you, ma'am." ~ Cowboy
Down the Dark Hole was written while watching my daughter recover from the trauma of rape. Special thanks to Sean Linton, Jr., who drew the sketch for the poem while a student at Wellington High School.
“Brilliant, Donna! I just adore your poem. The three things that make your poem exquisite are:
1) The outstanding presentation. So beautiful.
2) The expression. The reader literally lives the moments.
3) The poem itself. Easy and fun to read. The theme of nature and feeling is unbelievable.
Your ability to mix the three into a piece of almost "romantic desirable irritation" is commendable.” ~ A fan ~
