“I have taken a few novel writing classes and read various books on fiction writing. In comparison, I found Serena Wills did a great job of compressing so much useful information, along with great insights, in a relatively short amount of time. She also was great at answering the viewers many different types of questions, which is not always the case online.”

John B.

It was a really amazing session and Serena gave the audience a lot of great take-aways. Monica L.

“Float On! The Poem.” Sending Creative Encouragement

Peace, love and light everyone. I hope all is well. I wanted to share this poem that I wrote in the spring of 2021. We were challenged to use the metaphor of a feather on an ocean in my Writing to Wellness class at Creative Suitland, facilitated by C. Thomas. I decided to write a poem that would be of encouragement for people.

I chose the title based off of that infamous song by The Floaters, “Float On!” Despite the heavy times we are facing, we have to try and find it within ourselves to dive into our purpose and to continue to float on despite the stormy weather.

Also in the video you will see a very cool t-shirt that I have on and this is designed by my friend who is a wonderful songstress, songwriter and educator, Teisha Marie! If interested and you would like to support her t-shirt line which is based off of her songs and albums, check out the website: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/teemarie

Many blessings to everyone and if you would like to check out more inspirational poetry, a very cool blog, podcasts and shows I’ve been on talking about the writing journey and my poetry books, then I invite you to scroll through the rest of my website.

May peace be with each of you.

Mirror Image, National Poetry Month Post #5

Blessings everyone, I hope and pray that everyone is well. April is National Poetry Month and today is the last day. I’ve been sharing poems every week and this is one of my newest pieces titled, “Mirror Image.” The form of poetry is called a “cleave” poem. I learned about this form of poetry in my Writing to Wellness class through Creative Suitland that I am in and we were challenged to write about something that needs attention and to be healed.

You will hear in the video below that I discovered while sitting still for the most part in this pandemic that I am a reflection of my mother. Myself and my mother have a lot of things in common (God rest her soul) which are great, but in this particular instance, I’m talking about a challenge that held us back and could have blocked blessings for my future if I did not pause to recognize it.

I hope that this poem can indeed help someone on their healing journey. The one thing I have learned within this pandemic is that it’s okay to be still even with feelings that you might not be comfortable with and to address those feelings and wounds so the baggage can be tackled and put away properly.

If you like or love what you hear, I invite you to browse my website where you can find more great poetry, books, my blog, workshops and events.

Be well, safe and blessed.

Wrappers Delight Poem! National Poetry Month 2021 Post #3

Peace, love and light. This poem is titled, “Wrappers Delight.” We were challenged in my Writing to Wellness class to write a “Pantoum” poem which is a form of poetry that has a repeated pattern in every paragraph and you will hear it as I read my poem. We also had to use gum as the metaphor for what we were going to express. The first recording of this video was during National Poetry Month but I redid it a couple of months later. Had to get it right!

During this season that we have been in with the pandemic, we have all been forced to sit still. I’ve decided to use time to reflect on life, and 2021 mark’s a decade that I’ve been a single mother.

This journey is not an easy one and I applaud those who may not be together, BUT they have found peace with one another and have come to a middle ground to be responsible co-parents with a friendship and focus on the child’s wellbeing so it just doesn’t fall on one parent.

If you like or love what you hear, I invite you to check out the rest of my website and feel free to go to the store and buy some great poetry books here.
