Shark’s Tooth
The shark’s jaws do not hold his teeth.
His chompers are merely set gently within the gums.
Likewise, some men’s love for others
is not firmly rooted within their hearts,
but only slightly held.
As teeth fall easily
from sharks’ mouths
when they bite,
so do many bipeds fall easily out of love,
causing the same pain as from a bite.

Examples of Linda’s poetry and a listing of
publications can be found at lindaspoetryblog.blogspot.com.
When not writing, Linda is an avid reader, classical guitar player, and a
practitioner of both Yoga and Tai Chi. In, addition, she helps her
husband, a Luthier, build acoustic guitars. Linda enjoys her 200-gallon
saltwater reef tank wherein
resides her
almost 20 year old yellow tang. A retired teacher, who began writing in
earnest in January, 2015, Linda believes that poetry truly adds to the beauty
of the world. Much of this
beauty she feels can be found in the night sky and, on warm nights, her
telescope serves as inspiration for this belief. Linda’s self-published poetry
collections include “Big
Questions, Little Sleep,” “Lost and Found,” and “Red Is The
Sunrise.” She has two e-books published by Soma Publishing;
“The Sea’s Secret Song,” and “Pairings,” a hybrid eBook
of short fiction and poetry. Her third e-book, That Fifth Element, will
be published by Soma Publishing in late September.
