Laurie Noelle is a poet and writer from the Pacific Northwest who has a love of nature, animals, photography, taking long walks and exploring; and she wishes to do her part to help improve conditions in the world around her. She has been creating poetry since she was 18 years old and enjoys writing immensely! Laurie lives with her perceptive partner, Dan, and their characterful pets, a dog and a cat; Little Wilson and Koji, respectively.Having raised three beautiful daughters (whom she believes turned out quite well 😉), she never forgot the bedtime stories and how these encouraged growth and wisdom in her children’s formative years. One of her greatest joys has been to see her girls soar while finding their own unique brands of happiness!One of Laurie’s poems summarizes the driving passion behind her joy of writing and sheds light on a meaningful purpose in her life. It is called “The Golden Circle”. Here it is: Much rather would I write of daffodils and sunbeams than of political bills and moody things. All frivolity would you say? To that I respond with a cheery, “Nay!” For my words are crafted, the spirit to cringe, to open its eyes to see. They increase the pulse and purge the soul – my words can unbind and free! With renewed vigor and firm resolve, we’ll improve life socially; till comes about a better world - and then I’ll write more poetry!More poems as well as some poetry, prose and photos of the author can be found at the following website: https://laurienoelle.com/Read more about this authorRead less about this author
