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.

HI Colleen, you blog is very eye catching with its dark background and white text. A lovely poem to celebrate this time of year. It is so hot here at the moment you wouldn’t say we are now in autumn.
I think you go into Users/Add New/send me an email: colleenchesebro333@gmail.com for an invite. If you make me an admin, I can go in and change the theme, colors, add a new header, etc. Email what you are looking for. 💜
Thank you. I usually do an Ostara post, but that didn’t happen. I’m in book creating land and working on books for clients. It’s good to be busy. I’m glad you enjoyed. 🌞
Spring helps us adjust from winter’s darkness. I like finding the balance too. Some days, I work too hard, other days not enough. I’m trying to be more consistent. I’m a work in progress.
These are beautiful, Colleen. 💞
