A Certain Power Poems by Lynn Barany Come and sit by my window And watch the clouds roll by, I want to tell you something And don't think that I lie. I have certain powers, I'm not sure what they are, but I could turn a rainy night Into an evening full of stars. When I walk into a room And am seated in a chair, Though everyone's a stranger I can tell the ones who care. Maybe you don't know it But I can read your mind, Just give me your palm And I will show you your life line. Sometimes in my dreams at night I have visions of things to come, and in the daily news next day My dream is on page one. Some people call me crazy When my eyes begin to twitch, But really all I am Is a simple little witch.

Hi, Thank you for coming to my poetry site. I hope you've enjoyed reading my poems and will come back again to this humble poets home -- Island Poetry. Every poem is original and is derived from my daily encounters, thoughts, experiences, relationships and contacts with family, loved ones, friends, nature, the world and people at large. My poetry is simple, uncomplicated, straight-forward and honest coming from the heart, soul, a spiritual presence and obviously God -- Her/Himself. Thus, once the idea and first line of a poem "pops" into my head, the balance of my poems "arrive to me" more or less complete requiring only my immediate and total attention and focus in its writing down, with minimal additional work or effort thereafter. While belonging to the International Society of Poets, I have also been fortunate to have had the support and publication of many of my poems by local community newspapers, faith groups, charitable organizations, and in various anthologies published by the National Library of Poetry and catalogued in the U.S. Library of Congress - Publication Data ISBN 1-56167-256-4 I now live on lower Vancouver Island, off the Canadian west coast. Although originally from the Canadian province of Ontario, I have over the years also lived in the province of Manitoba, as well as Germany. Once again thank you for reading my work, hope you enjoyed and found it relevant also to your own experiences of the living, loving and challenges of everyday life. I truly would appreciate and love to hear from anyone with comments, critiques, suggestions or what-have-you. Email Me - lynnbarany@islandpoetry.com Regards, Lynn Barany (Hanna)
