Barbara Tabaretti

I have been a life long resident of Charleston, West Virginia. I attended Marshall University where I obtained my BA degree in Speech Therapy. I also attended WVCOGS where I obtained a MA in Learning Disabilities. I am currently a Speech/Language Pathologist at Grandview Elementary in Charleston. I gained an interest in reading poetry while at Charleston High School, and started writing poetry after graduating from college. Writing poetry is a creative endeavor I enjoyed perusing on a regular basis. My other hobbies include traveling and yoga.

NATURE

I walked along the garden path
It’s winding aisles in glow
A beautiful aspiring arching way
It’s God’s great picture show

I walked along the beach today
The waves so pure when sprayed
The ebbing tides of water clear
God’s beauty on display

I walked inside the forest green
It’s beauty to behold
Leaves among the moss unfurled
Muted colors of yellow, red and gold

God’s beauty is everywhere
In forest, lake and stream
Just open your eyes, your ears and your heart
To His glorious, gorgeous dream.
