SPRINGFIELD, Mo., March 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lorraine A. Burkey\u2019s new volume of poetry \u201cA Little Birdie Told Me<\/a>\u201d (published by Archway Publishing) shares her lyrical perspective on life, its roadblocks, its triumphs and why the roads people take are their own choice.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Employing everyday language, the author writes to bring the reader\u2019s everyday life, and how they handle it, into focus. Burkey reflects on tragedies, struggles, victories, life lessons, nostalgia, and a variety of experiences and emotions. One event the author shares lessons from is a massive stroke she had at the young age of 20. Using the poems to talk to and with readers, Burkey also reminds her audience to spread kindness, to stand up to bullies, to look forward to the future and to recognize their blessings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt came from within, as a way to capture and express my view of life and to guide my path,\u201d Burkey says of her poetry. \u201cMy inspiration to publish came from friends, coworkers and most insistently from my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

An excerpt from the poem \u201cAround the Bend\u201d reads:<\/p>\n

There was a time when I thought<\/p>\n

My world had come to an end.<\/p>\n

But time has proven to me<\/p>\n

That I\u2019m just traveling around the bend.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA Little Birdie Told Me\u201d is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Little-Birdie-Told-Me\/dp\/1665700904<\/a>.<\/p>\n
