Welcome to River Michael's Poetry Blog

River Michaels was inspired to write and publish her poetry after the death of her mother in September 2001. River’s first book is titled, "A River of Rain - Book of Poetry," published in the summer of 2008. A River of Rain is a heartfelt, emotional journey in search of hope and resolution to deal with the grief of losing her mother.

In the summer of 2009, River followed up with her next book, "A River of Peace - Book of Poetry." A River of Peace takes the reader through the journey of a bittersweet ending to a long-term relationship, with a hopeful longing to find true love in the end.

Currently, River is writing her third poetry book titled, “A River of Hope – Book of Poetry,” coming in the Autumn of 2012. A River of Hope promises to deliver the joys of finding true love and acknowledges that true love does exist.

There is nothing more powerful than the power of love. Light will always come after the dark. River’s poetry books are an ongoing series of seven poetry books that are written in parallel with her life.

“You can never be more than you were born to be…” – Melissa Etheridge

What I Know For Sure... Part Deux


1.      That it is so much better to notice what is right about a person rather than what is wrong.
2.      That if you make a mistake, ask “Will anyone remember this in 100 years?” if not, move on and forgive yourself.
3.      That fear can drive a person to do the unthinkable.
4.      That you just never know what is going on another’s life. Be kind…
5.      That sometimes it is best to say nothing at all…
6.     That I do not need to be “validated” to be right.
7.      That handmade gifts are far more valuable than any store bought item.
8.      That you should always mail a Thank You card when “thanks” are in order.
9.  That what happens in the dark will always come to light.
10.  That life has no guaranteed entitlements so be grateful for what you do have.
