Softly Snowing

Memories
fall
like
snowflakes
upon
my dreams.

Me and Mom,
a piece of art,
a promise,
a hug.

Me and Dad,
a thousand tears,
a bouquet,
a loss.

Me and Blaze,
an autumn day,
a walk,
a kiss.

Me and Claire,
a flowing skirt,
a song,
a fight.

The snowflakes
toss and tumble,
each different
and yet
the same.

The snowflakes
of my life.

CHROEDER HAS BEEN A FAN OFVERSE NOVELS
for a long time, she’d never written one until she had a dream about Ava and Jackson. She was literally haunted by their story until she finally wrote it down.

Lisa, a native Oregonian, lives in a yellow house surrounded by lots of lovely flowers and plants (thanks to her husband, who has an entire green hand). She is mom to two fabulous sons and is the official dog walker in the family. Since the age of eight, Lisa has been writing books, and to prove it, she has one about a lion that her grandma stuck in a drawer and saved. If you peek into Lisa’s house in the wee hours of the morning, you’ll usually find her typing away at the keyboard with a cup of tea by her side. You can visit her at
