“And the Woman Smiled” is the titled of a poetry book which traces the life of a woman from childhood to womanhood and beyond. Published in my nom de plume Gianna B. Reid, the book is available on Amazon. Here is a sample poem:
“Wind”
When I was a little girl,
I believed trees created wind.
The frantic motion of the branches was empirical proof.
The howling confirmed it more.
I thought if trees could just be still, the winds
of March and November gusts would cease.
Now I am older, wiser.
Wind is because everyone is talking at once.
– Joan Bellofatto Reid
Never truer. Thank you so much for this wonderful sample of your poetry.
