Season 6 Episode 8: Lauren Scott on A Poet’s Voice

“rocks and shiny shells
in all shapes and colors make
young hearts sing and dance
precious works of art
remain forever priceless
time irrelevant
sandy shore offers
troves of tiny treasures for
imaginations
fingers hold paintbrush
brows furrow, fully focused
masterpiece crafted”

“Tiny Treasures” from Ever So Gently: A Collection of Poems by Lauren Scott

Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia.

Thank you for listening in.

I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I am looking forward to sharing this moment with you.

I am traveling virtually to Northern California to meet writer and poet, Lauren Scott. Lauren enjoys the tranquil pleasures of small-town living alongside her supportive husband, Matthew, and their beloved lab, Copper. As a dedicated wordsmith, Lauren has explored both fiction and reflections of her own life through her compelling poetry and short stories. Lauren released her latest poetry collection, “Ever So Gently,” in July of 2023. This enchanting anthology artfully communicates the nuances of life, love, and the human spirit.

Today, I am delighted that Lauren Scott has joined me to give voice to her poetry. Welcome to the podcast series, “A Poet’s Voice”, which brings words of poetry from across the world to your home.

I invite you to put the kettle on and add to this exciting conversation on Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for joining Lauren and me on Tea Toast & Trivia to reflect on the beauty of poetic words.

Thank you, Lauren for sharing your insights on how poetry allows us to describe the world around us in unexpected ways. This has been a wonderful conversation.

Listeners you can meet up with Lauren on her website, Baydreamer, (BaydreamerWrites.com) and Amazon. You are only an internet click away from journeys that enrich the soul.

Until next time we meet, dear friends, keep reading and reciting poetry. Safe travels wherever your adventures lead you.
