Life Poetry

Jake feels alone at school and alone at home. Some days it feels like the only people who understand him is the poet Emily Dickinson—and Jake's beloved grandma. But there is also the Voice inside him, louder than any other, who professes to know him best of all. The one that says "You have me." The Voice is loud enough to drown out everything else, even the hunger Jake feels, until his mom intervenes and sends him to Whispering Pines. Here Jake will learn how to confront the loneliness inside him, and find out who he is and what he has to live for.

Life is poetic and poetry is life. Poetry can touch weary soul, inspire, teach, entertain, and heal emotional scars. The gift of poetry transcends understanding and takes the listener and writer to new worlds. Every poet has a unique brand and theme which identifies the poet’s style. Usually, a poet’s prose identifies what style of poetry the poet writes. God has blessed this author with a gift that bears no certain theme or style. Instead, poetry is universal and reaches the masses.

Every good gift and every perfect gif is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. IT has, I think, been devised wisely and well that the services of to-day should stand, if possible, in some connection with the celebrations which will fill up the remainder of the week. You, who have sought that such a connection should exist, have thus declared many things. You have declared first, that you have no intention nor desire to separate the gift from the Giver—to glorify the one, and to forget or leave out of sight the other—to make much of man at the expense of Him who is the ...
