Thanks for popping in! Some of you may know me as children’s book author, Danna (banana) Smith, but I write poetry for adults and young adults too. With this blog, it is my aim to carve out a place for adults to read, learn, create, and share our mutual passion for poetry. I am a wife, a mom of two grown children (and a cute pup named Peanut), I drink tea by the gallons, can sneeze like Donald Duck (I’m talented that way :)), love reading, gardening, fitness, healthy cooking, and yoga.
