Download or read book Beautiful Poems Beautiful Places written by T. Leona Tollison, Ph. D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I loved to sit at my Mother’s feet and as she read poems and I repeatedly said, “read it again.” I memorized every one. The first day of school I recited one to my teacher about teachers and got on her good side. As time rolled on, writing Poetry and Prose had competition with Music and many other talents. I became an English Teacher and later acquired a PhD. God has given me many talents along with a love for travel to enjoy the great beautiful world He has placed us in. I am truly Blest. Beautiful Poems Beautiful Places is a small treasure of my experience. I would love for them to be your experience. Writing Poetry soothes my spirit like standing by a stream while I watch the water flow. Writing Poetry is equal to looking out from the peer and over the vast spread of rolling waves coming in and going out, rejoicing to know that God is in full Control. Writing Poetry is precisely like climbing to the Mountain Top and at the Summit experience the closeness of Majesty. I hope that you sense this as you read my book. Writing or Reading Poetry is many more things that give sweet peace. My desire is to encourage and spread hope or, perhaps, implant smiles along life’s way.

Download or read book Beautiful Poems and Short Stories written by Dora Fisher and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautiful Poems and Short Stories is a book about life experiences and people who have made great impressions and have taught me a lot about life. I had a wonderful neighborhood with very interesting families that lived there. We all cared for each other even though we did not have a lot of money, but on our street we didn't consider ourselves as being poor. We all helped each other in need and because of our love for each other, we were rich in heart. It is about how much fun we all had as children, playing all kinds of games, running, jumping, playing sports, riding our bicycles and homemade go-carts all over the neighborhood until night fall. There are poems about my siblings that I grew up with, we had so much fun, and some were good at times and bad at times. Some of my poems are happy and sad, one minute you are laughing, then, the next time you are sad. It is about life and life's experiences. Some of my poems are inspiring and inspirational. Most of all it will take you back to the good old days when you were a child and you could walk in the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas south end at night and nothing happen to you. It will take you back to when you played without a care in the world. You could shout to the top of your lungs, right out loud and have fun. Life was never boring, it was always something going on good or bad. It is also about the times when my family and I would travel and we would get a chance to see the beautiful sites in Arkansas and other states in the USA. Some parts of this country is so breathtaking. This book is relaxing and calming as you read. It will take you back in the past, in the future and will still keep you in the present. It is always a good time to remember the good old days and reminisce about some of the things that happened in the past. It has poems about my dad, when he served in World War II and about my mother who has Alzheimer's. Each poem is very special and so very nice. When you start reading this book you won't want to put it down until you are finished.
Download or read book Good Bones written by Maggie Smith and published by Tupelo Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu

Book excerpt: "David Orr is no starry-eyed cheerleader for contemporary poetry; Orr’s a critic, and a good one. . . .
