Download or read book Poetic Justice written by Tami Belt and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pages hold a lifetime of lessons learned about love, life and relationships. Poetic Justice is not a typical book designed for reading from beginning to end but as individual pages that beckon your soul at a particular moment in time. Chapters are organized by topic, not chronologically. Like a diary entry, each poem represents my innermost insights and feelings during a moment in time. Each entry is anonymous because lessons live on unlike some relationships. I didnt write these poems, they wrote me. When I was overwhelmed with emotion and didnt think anyone could hear me or understand, the words poured through me onto the pages . . . sometimes between the blinding tears of heartbreak and betrayal, sometimes fueled by liquid courage on bar napkins, sometimes in the depths of depression and sometimes by the light of love. Whether youre inspired by music, dance, painting or prose, express yourself. Everyone has a story someone in the world needs to hear . . . for inspiration, insight or to know theyre not alone. This is part of my story. Thank you for listening.
