Come Fly with Me

Announcing my new picture book, Come Fly with Me, now available on Amazon. 

This book also came out of the pandemic, when I decided to try creating illustrations for a children's poem I wrote a long time ago. I was so pleased with how it came out that I turned it into a picture book.

Come Fly with Me

by Melissa Ann Goodwin

Take my hand

and fly with me

The wind will whisk us

o'er the sea,

We'll float above the clouds so high

and soar across the evening sky

Like meteors and shooting stars,

we'll zoom past Jupiter and Mars

We'll sail forever and a day,

until we touch the Milky Way.

A little sample from inside:

Announcing My New Poetry Chapbook

       “Open your sticky eyes to sunlight

                             weaving a path through the leaves,

                                                    just to caress your face..."

I'm excited to announce the publication of my first poetry chapbook! This short collection of poems is available now in paperback on Amazon.com: The Brook in the Woods Behind Our Old House.

The collection includes Are You My Mother, which won honorable mentions in both the 2021 Prime 53 poetry competition and the Vivian Shipley Award, The Wings of Familiar Songs, which won a top award in the Oprelle Bigger Than Me competition, and the title poem, The Brook in the Woods Behind Our Old House, which won second place in the 2022 Coming Home competition. My collective work also earned a top spot in the 2022 Oprelle Poetry Masters competition.

And, stay tuned for another announcement of something completely different - Coming Soon!
