A collection of Poems by Annette Rust.

*The Darker Side of Dawn
There is a time just as the dawn arrives.
When the light hurts the eyes
and fills the heart with longing for the shelter of the night.
When tears try to protect the windows of the mind
from the glaring light of the Sun.
There is always pain before the dawn.
These poems touch that pain just before the light of day.*

A collection of short stories I have written from time to time. 

In the old days "Spinning Yarns" Means telling stories. Later it came to mean telling high tales. But the meaning I wish to keep here is of the visiting Bard telling their stories, pomes and songs for a loaf of bread, a cup of wine and place to rest their weary head for the night. So sit back and enjoy these bards. And perchance if thy art amused and touched as in the days of old toss them a gift from thy hand.
