...I asked myself years ago, what is it that makes me wake in the middle of the night, reach for my journal sitting on the stand next to my bed, record in the dark, quick scratches on the pages, the thought I have in the midst of my wakening. Am I a poet?
My mother stated her maternal Aunt Laura was a published poet. I've yet to find any of her writings, though I have not searched all the volumes of poetry, of all of the shelfs, of all of the bookstores that reside throughout the globe -eek! But a poet?!
I have discovered I descend from Geoffrey Chaucer, that famous poet, not only his wife's sibling, Katheryn Swynford, by Geoffrey Chaucer himself. Well then, let me introduce you to a new find -the online find, not the dusty, dark shelfs of an antique shop.
I just found this, [Roman de la rose | French poem | Britannica; Roman de la Rose - National Library of Wales] which I am looking forward to learning more about, whether it relates to the Rose Family we descend.
I am so excited!
