Lora Hollings Poet
This is a place where words wander freely.
Here, poetry and prose rise from quiet moments, from questions whispered to the sky, from memories held gently, and from the deep noticing of the world as it is — and as it might be. My writing moves through nature and imagination, through love, loss, hope, humor, and the fragile beauty of being human.
Some poems are playful and light-hearted, others reflective or reverent. Some essays speak softly, others ask us to look more closely — at ourselves, at one another, at the unseen threads that connect us all. I write about kindness, individuality, animals, family, justice, wonder, and the small truths that often carry the greatest weight.
Alongside my poetry, you’ll now find thoughtfully designed lesson pages for young readers, parents, and homeschoolers. These companion pieces invite children to step inside the poems — with read-aloud experiences, discussion questions, nature-based learning, and creative activities that nurture curiosity, empathy, and imagination.
This space is an offering — a gathering of words meant to comfort, to stir curiosity, to celebrate difference, and to remind us that meaning can be found in both joy and sorrow. If something here lingers with you, then the poem has done its work.
Stay awhile. Read slowly. Let the words find you.
