Welcome to Cozy Poetry Corner by Debra A Winter (Richter)

“Street & Book Bound Debbie”

I walk the line between page and street, 

where ink meets instinct, sharp and sweet. 

Not every lesson comes from a book, 

sometimes it’s the sideways glance I took. 

Street smarts whisper, “Trust your gut,” 

book smarts answer, “Here’s the cut.” 

Together they weave a wiser thread, 

a net of knowing where I’m led. 

So call me not just learned or sly, 

I’m both — the reason I get by. 

In poems, in life, in every start, 

I carry the blend of head and heart.
