New Poems, New Idea

My Mischevious Boy is a poem written about a young boy who is always into everything! He is growing up wanting to know and see it all. My Father, My Friend is written while thinking of my father. Remembering the father very well while holding memories after the father has passed away. I Have Had Enough is much like the title, talking about a guy who wants everything but is not willing to give himself completely.

Those are the three poems that I wrote last night while thinking about the world and all the sadness that happens. Sadness that can come from a break-up, divorce, death, or people that fall out of lives.

Accidentally Awake: Loneliness, is well going through a new layout of events as I have had some more ideas and maybe taking this story a different direction. I will definitely be giving updates!

My Ideas in Writing

Ideas, Ideas, and More Ideas! My ideas for writing young-adult and poetry come to me out of nowhere. While washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, or doing laundry I will have an idea hit me for a new poem or a scene in my books. I take a notebook everywhere that I go since ideas can hit me anywhere at anytime. While dining out, I have been asked why I am carrying a basket with me. I reply that I write and I carry it for ideas as they can come to me often and I do not want to miss any of my ideas.

Other notebooks that I keep is for journaling. Parts of my life can also give me ideas for a scene in my book or a new poem. I take some of my life experiences, dreams, and even my creative imagination and use those for my writing. Of course I dramatize my writing when taking from my life so it is fiction but based on a solid foundation that can relate to life very well.

From Inspirational Thoughts to the Heart's Struggles

Inspirational Thoughts to the Heart's Struggles in a book of 52 poems with eight categories. Recently found out the the book of poems has been released. I was thrilled to receive the email regarding my book of poems. The poems in the book are modern-day styled discussing many, many topics the people today face at one point in their life, usually many poems can relate to lives lived in today's time. Here is an example:

My Painful Steps

The steps of my life has been long,

The pain I have seen is all very wrong,

Tears from eyes has been plentiful,

My words have not always been beautiful.

When and why is what I continue to ask,

Trying to hide behind the invisible mask,

My heart has made another sad mistake,

After all the pain, I remain wide awake.

Disaster will remain in my strangest mind,

Closing the coldness, I wish I could rewind,

Disturbed images play in my dreams at night.

Please, when will I get these images right?

Lighting the candle for some comfort and light,

Chills flow through the air as I close my eyes tight.

Will I be at peace with comfort in my mind and heart?

Willing to see when I will find what I am missing, is my part.
