It seems only a few years ago,
A tiny delicate lass –
Burst into my life with a wail and a scream.
Hello beautiful.
Long in limb and tall in stature,
All blond hair and curls tumbling down.
Emerald eyes – a gazelle, a graceful beauty –
Independent even then.
Mothers and daughters share a love
Even when they disagree.
The greatest accolade to be found
Is when a mother and a daughter
Become friends –
Accepting and accommodating,
Sharing thoughts and visions,
All pretense aside.
Tabitha, my daughter – my friend.

An avid reader, Colleen M. Chesebro rekindled her love of writing poetry after years spent working in the accounting industry. These days, she loves crafting syllabic poetry, flash fiction, and creative fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to poetry books, Chesebro’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of her writing community on Word Craft Poetry.com by organizing and sponsoring a weekly syllabic poetry challenge, called #TankaTuesday, where participants experiment with traditional and current forms of Japanese and American syllabic poetry.
Chesebro is an assistant editor of The Congress of the Rough Writers Flash Fiction Anthology & Gitty Up Press, a micro-press founded by Charli Mills and Carrot Ranch.
In January 2022, Colleen founded Unicorn Cats Publishing Services to assist poets and authors in creating eBooks and print books for publication. In addition, she creates affordable book covers for Kindle and print books.
Chesebro lives in the house of her dreams in mid-Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes with her husband and two (unicorn) cats, Chloe & Sophie.
