Book Description
I discovered many years ago that writing poetry is therapeutic for my anxious mind. Scribbling down words and rearranging them to form a poem, enables my unruly thoughts to escape from my head. This little book contains a selection of thought provoking, but ultimately, uplifting poems, composed by the author. That's me! The poems are complimented by the true story of how I developed my writing skills. First attempts in those early days were filled with fun and laughter for my family and friends. As I journeyed through life and experienced the highs and lows of living on this planet, my poetry became more inspirational and I am told, helpful to others struggling with bereavement, anxiety or just coping with today's fast pace of living. I hope you enjoy reading Take A Walk Through My Mind and perhaps will be inspired to put pen to paper yourself. Go For It!

Book Description
If you enjoy Christian poetry, The Gift of Inspirational Poetry is sure to touch your heart. The poet, RaVonda Wilkerson Oakes, felt inspired by God to write some beautiful words of poetry; now, for the first time, she has compiled her poems into a collection that she believes the Lord wants her to share with you. These poems may strengthen your faith with inspiration, encouragement, love, hope, and praise. Each poem is based on the truths of the gospel, and each one has its own message. The Gift of Inspirational Poetry includes poems on various spiritual topics, occasions, holidays, and many areas that affect your walk with Christ. Many poems offer praise to the Lord and hope through His teaching. "A Godly Father" and "Bless the Child" are poems that speak about family and encourage bringing up your children in the Lord. "Your Wedding Day" and "To the Bride" are poems that emphasize the sanctity of marriage and true love. "It's a New Year," "Who's Your Valentine," "Easter," "Thanksgiving," and "Christmas" are some poems that inspire you to celebrate the holidays. "A Soldier's Prayer" and "Freedom's Heroes" reflect upon the bravery of our soldiers who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom. These poems seek to lift you up and inspire you to lift the Lord up in your life. Ms. Oakes chose the title for her poetry because she believes it to be a gift from God. The Gift of Inspirational Poetry can be a gift to you and yours also!

Book Description
Recently appointed as the new U. S. Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser has been writing and publishing poetry for more than forty years. In the pages of The Poetry Home Repair Manual, Kooser brings those decades of experience to bear. Here are tools and insights, the instructions (and warnings against instructions) that poets—aspiring or practicing—can use to hone their craft, perhaps into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry’s ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts. Much more than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all the comforts and merits of a long and enlightening conversation with a wise and patient old friend—a friend who is willing to share everything he’s learned about the art he’s spent a lifetime learning to execute so well.

Book Description
Marjorie Perloff here explores this intriguing development in contemporary poetry: the embrace of "unoriginal" writing. Paradoxically, she argues, such citational and often constraint-based poetry is more accessible and, in a sense, "personal" than was the hermetic poetry of the 1980's and 90's. --

Book Description
Dear young readers: As an added part of the book I am proudly glad to offer the Kids addition to the book. Ever since, I started volunteering as an Elementary school Coach I wanted to leave with them hope, and let them know that all their hopes and dreams start in the Elementary years. It has been a passion for many years to be able to write to children in Elementary school and be able to encourage them, not just in sports. “I also wanted to be able to let them know how important their future beyond their Elementary years is!” This is why I wrote the poem “The Wonder Years”, as well the “Wonder Years” word. I am so glad that I have added the Wonder years poem and word in this book. “There is absolutely nothing you can’t accomplish if you put your, mind and your heart into it. Nothing is impossible!” I was able to overcome in life having a disability slow in learning to being able to write poems and inspirational words. Sincerely: Jay Rammell
