About Alexandra Heep:

Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty. After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter. She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.

NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 1 Whispers in the Wool


 Whispers in the Wool

In fields where mist and sunlight meet,
Soft-footed grace with steady beat,
Alpacas roam in quiet bands,
Like whispered wind across the land.

Their eyes hold stories, old and deep,
Of mountain gods and ancient sleep—
A gaze that calms the clamor down,
That smooths the soul like woven gown.

Their coats, a cloud the earth has spun,
Catch every hue of rising sun,
And in their hum—so faint, so low—
Lies peace no storm can overthrow.

They do not rush, they do not strive,
Yet every step declares: "I'm alive."
With every breath, the world grows still—
A lesson wrapped in fleece and will.

So if you tire of noise and race,
Come find the herd, this sacred place.
For in their warmth, both shy and true,
You’ll find the softest part of you.
