An avid reader, Colleen M. Chesebro rekindled her love of writing poetry after years spent working in the accounting industry. These days, she loves crafting syllabic poetry, flash fiction, and creative fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to poetry books, Chesebro’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of her writing community on Word Craft Poetry.com by organizing and sponsoring a weekly syllabic poetry challenge, called #TankaTuesday, where participants experiment with traditional and current forms of Japanese and American syllabic poetry.
Chesebro is an assistant editor of The Congress of the Rough Writers Flash Fiction Anthology & Gitty Up Press, a micro-press founded by Charli Mills and Carrot Ranch.
In January 2022, Colleen founded Unicorn Cats Publishing Services to assist poets and authors in creating eBooks and print books for publication. In addition, she creates affordable book covers for Kindle and print books.
Chesebro lives in the house of her dreams in mid-Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes with her husband and two (unicorn) cats, Chloe & Sophie.

I almost remembered something that would fit here, but then it left me again. When I find it again I”ll send you a copy. I love your mental images, my friend. And if it’s cool there, I would love being in your area, because the heat index is over 105 here today!
We hit 90 degrees today. There’s a bad fire down near Pueblo and all the smoke has blown into Colorado Springs. It’s pretty yucky right now but I’m not sweating to death! LOL! You say in the cool. Don’t go out in this heat. ❤
No problem about me leaving the apartment until things cool off outside. My trips out occur immediately after sunrise and don’t last longer than an hour. What part of the Springs is affected by the fire? I have a brother and 2 sisters living there, but haven’t heard anything from them lately. One sis lives in Monument, close to the AF Academy and surrounded by trees!
Wish I could send you some rain or some of the water we have still standing in places around here. More rain forecast for tonight and I would happily send it your way if it was possible.
So lovely sis 💜
