Ross E Silke:

Am I allowed to announce this? I'm so excited that I made my first ever book sales this week after publishing on Amazon.--I didn't think they would really sell so it's very encouraging. I much enjoy the writing process and will keep working toward bettering myself and my writing as I find it opens up a whole new world apart from the natural world we so often get consumed in. Thanks for all your help.

Ross E Silke:

Poetry is a great way to heal in writing from the heart, and then it is contagious when we share it to help others. When we're facing life challenges and circumstances, poems can help overcome them and conquer our mountains. In a way, it is like a weapon that fights to heal our soul and gives us more control over life's ordeals.

    LG Wolfe: Very well said Ross. I completely agree.
    May 9, 2019 at 7:58AM
    mrsmajor: From my own life experiences, and my poetry, I most certainly do agree with you..
    May 9, 2019 at 5:14PM
    Ms. Snyder: Well Mr. Silke that in itself was poetry... a nice free verse!

Happy Resurrection Holiday season (Easter) to everyone!! I don't think it's too early to post a special greeting! May you, your family, friends, and loved ones be blessed as we celebrate this season. Don't forget to put chocolate (preferably those in the shape of rabbits) on your list too, and try to get out to a Sunday service to remember why we celebrate. :0)) Best,

Writing is a way to heal the mind and soul; we write to help ourselves then we want to display it for others to read, thus passing on the torch. But we should always write with others in mind too so they can best understand us, after all the writer has the most information, but often times we forget that the reader may not know. Author notes are handy for that as well. :0))

Ross E Silke:

I find writing poetry is a great way to battle through life's harder days and to even gain some authority over life's cares by writing about them. It doesn't have to be perfect but writing gets the emotions on paper and clears the mind and heart. It gives us courage to face life, our poems.
