“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.

Reconstruction Anniversary Year #7!!!!

Last day of June already! Thank you to those who have reached out to celebrate 7 years of me being self-published. Here’s my book trailer that was produced by my friend Bradley Evans, the music is by my friend Alejandro Perez’s band, “Melody Memory” such an awesome collaboration! The artwork that you see throughout the trailer are different pieces that are actually embedded through my book by other friends as well such as Samax Amen, Riki Johnson-Atkins, Soukaa and David Rodriguez (who’s painting you also see on the book cover).

As artists, it’s wonderful when you can reach out to people and they help you on the dream path, and then in turn you can help them out with something as well. Feel free to check out the video below for the trailer. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Shout out to Dee Hill for the author photo, Dawn Adams for the editing and Stacy D Luecker of Essex Graphix for the cover layout and typesetting.

Blessings to all of the author’s who poured into me to get me to this point, collectives and groups…this book started being birthed in Dallas, TX (moving there was truly designed by God…thankful for it). They are ArtLoveMagic, Art Conspiracy, South Dallas Cultural Center and The Writers Block!

Also for those who would like to support by purchasing my first book or all whether it’s paperback or e-copy, you can scroll through my website and not only check out the store, but feel free to read my inspiring blog, check out other publications I’ve been in such as anthologies and much more. Many blessings to all. ✌🏾

“Conceptualize” National Poetry Month Post #4

Photo Credit By: Ololade Moshood Olawale at Pexels.com

Peace, love and light everyone. Enjoy and really take a good listen to the poem titled, “Conceptualize” from my poetry book, “The Awakening, Pieces of Life Volume 2.” I wrote this poem originally in 2010 when myself and a friend were visualizing what we want the world to look like in the future not only for ourselves, but for all of the children and generations to come. We are still waiting for the day.

 

Praying for unity and peace. Praying for a day of no police brutality, no racism, no poverty and equity. If you like or love what you hear, please like and share. Also subscribe to my YouTube channel.

I invite you to check out my website after listening to this piece, where you can discover inspiration through my poetry books, blog, workshop offerings, videos and events.

May peace be with each of you.

Burning Burden

Blessings! I ended off National Poetry Month by reading a poem from my latest book, “The Awakening, Pieces of Life Volume 2” titled, “Burning Burden.” We all have been burdened with various events and things in life. If we don’t let the burdens break us, they can make us stronger. Enjoy the poem and please subscribe to my YouTube channel.
