Memories Events & Thoughts

Over the years I have written these poems from memories occurring events and from my thoughts as they emerged. These selections included represent only a few as I began writing poetry while still very young. Some came easy to write while others have undergone many revisions. Writing in rhythm and rhyme carries a great fascination and challenge for me.Many but not all of the photos included came from the photography collection of my son Jeremy. Our family photo albums contained the others.Carolyn Macy lives in Norman Oklahoma with her husband and son. Their daughter lives in Hawaii. Her published childrens picture books include: Hawaiian Night Before Christmas (Pelican Publishing) Oklahoma Night Before Christmas (OWFI Best Juvenile Book Award for 2013) Who Can Save the North Pole? The Great Leopard Hunt Miracle on the Hudson A Special Christmas in July and Chasing the Moons Shadow. Her books first published by Tate Publishing are now self published through Ingram Spark.Jeremy Macy lives in Norman Oklahoma. Not only is is known for his photography but has also had the honor of having his paintings hang in the Capitol in Washington D.C. Chasing the Moons Shadow which is a childrens picture book (2018) includes much of his photography of the 2017 solar eclipse.
