Aftermath

Aftermath
by Kathryn Kay

Now that it’s through
I can laugh at my fears,
my aches and my bruises and scars–
what if my eyes are all snarled up with tears–
my thoughts are a tangle of stars!

About the poet:

LDS poetess Kathryn Kay (Kathryn Worsley Pratt) was a popular radio announcer on the KFI radio show Midnight Frolic out of Los Angeles, California, a forerunner of today’s late night television broadcasts, from 1927 to 1930. She was also Associate Editor of “Parade” magazine before it became a Sunday supplement.

Kathryn began writing poetry at age 10 and has had three major poetry books published. Kathryn died in February 2005, but a new book of her poetry has been published with the title Goldfish Privacy and is available wherever LDS books are sold or on the Sheralynn Pratt website.
