The Top Out of View by James Carlo

About The Top Out of View by James Carlo:

This book is for anybody who’s ever coached or played or watched American high school football and knows there’s a lot more to the experience than meets the eye. The author uses the sparse structure of poetry to get to the heart of the matter, creating a collection of short, powerful insights that resonate in a unique and intense way.
James Carlo coached at the Catholic high school level for over forty seasons in a career that began in the 1960s and ended in 2017. Over the years, he kept a journal of his impressions. After retirement, he reconstructed them into this book of poems, a remarkable inside look at the emotions, conflicts, joys, and lessons of a sport that most people only know from a distance. Read it yourself for pleasure or make it a gift for somebody who’d never think of reading a book of poems about old-school, high school football — but who would be glad he or she did.

Lost in a Quatrain by Adiela Akoo

About Lost in a Quatrain by Adiela Akoo:

Lost in a Quatrain…a collection of poems (described as “heart touching” and “soul healing” by readers) each telling a story that puts together the pieces of this crazy, not always romantic, experience we call life…

“… Adiela clearly loves playing with words that flow and dance upon the reader’s tongue. Her skillful crafting includes depth, layering, tone, rhythm, vivid imagery and the presence of lived experience often provoking deeper thought. A very versatile poet whose poems linger long after you have read them.” – EDRIS KHAMISSA – International Motivational Speaker

“… so elegantly articulated in purity of thought. I was compelled from the first skim to complete the book in one sitting, captivated, as I paralleled your journey of life’s questions. This anthology captures your essence of innocence, love, awareness and detail savored by seekers of ‘substance for the soul’.. ” – MARY CALVARENE PILLAY

“It takes guts to pour your feelings in a poem” – LEILA SHEIKH – Writer/Producer

“… you have found your muse. The poems are beautiful. Though you have drawn from your own experience, most of them are universal and I often thought it could be happening to me… Keep writing.” – DIVIA NAIDOO – Educator

“She (Adiela Akoo) writes original themes. Feelings which are astoundingly beautiful, she composes them so immaculately in to a fine piece of art. I love her poetry” – SANTIAGO ALI – Poet/Literary Artist

In between… life: Selected Poems

About In between… life: Selected Poems:

Unplugged! If there is a single word capable to accurately summarize the atmosphere of this book, that is for sure the most appropriate given that, similarly to an unplugged performance of your favourite band/singer, the selected poems in this book also convey the sensation of filling out the room and taking your senses to a different state of mind. They address topics such as love, romance, perceptions about life around us, and new discoveries. Nonetheless, they are ‘unplugged’ of unnecessary features, meaning that they make the reader feel at ease from the very first lines and engaging you just like an intimate conversation with your closest friend.

Crying Leaves by Shadelle Amarante

About Crying Leaves by Shadelle Amarante:

Crying leaves is a poetry book that is a metaphor for people crying, to call attention to different things they experience in life. From love, sex, shopping, natural disasters, personal issues, to the world in itself. I chose the name crying leaves because we all have our own family tree. In which are our all our loved ones; traditional families or families of affinity. To think for a second I wonder what if trees, barks, branches, and leaves could have emotions just as humans do how would it sound or go about everyday life. Every poem describes something that we as people experience in life. Whether it is a natural disaster or a person explaining how New York looks and sounds in their eyes. Compilations of poetry that will make you want to think and read again. Some poems will just allow you to experience happiness when you read about love and relationships. There are also poems that will allow a person to feel sentimental. It is full of almost every human emotion that we as crying leaves will always have to experience in this life. Also be informed that crying leaves has mature content. In which its contents has issues about sex, relationships and sensitive situations, Shadelle, is enthused to share this poetry book with the world. Thank you and enjoy it, it’s an interesting reading experience.

You Are My Home

About You Are My Home:

My name is Justin Thornhill, I am an aspiring poet from Vancouver Washington. I have spent this year compiling every poem I write into this book. I used to write music and songs, but my singing voice would deter me from publishing projects. I would get to self-conscious and end up scrapping a lot of ideas. For this book I set out to write 50 poems, and to keep every one of them. So, this book is the compilation of those poems. My biggest inspiration for this book, and the one person who kept me going, was my wife Markayla. “You Are My Home” as the title was inspired by her. I wanted to be as blunt and real as I possibly could during this. I wanted readers to see all my highs and lows and possibly learn something along the way. I grew up constantly feeling that what I felt inside was wrong. That it made me weak, and I would be too embarrassed to talk about it. When my walls finally came down to discuss what I felt inside, I discovered they weren’t just feelings. Mental illnesses are very serious issues. I traded the typical structured or rhyming poems for a more straight forward approach. I wanted readers that feel what I feel to not feel alone. I wanted them to recognize that illness is serious, but not crippling. You are not defined by it. Your name is “Mark” not “Anxiety”. My goal with this book, was to express myself poetically. But also, to connect with readers that either feel how I do or have an appreciation for those who do. My intentions are golden, this time I just chose to not burn them.

Life is a video game by Akita Ropiquet

About Life is a video game by Akita Ropiquet:

44 poems in English & French about fate, faith, & video games

Free ebook from Wed 08/28 to Sun 09/01

In this book no cheat codes
Not even switching between mods
Trapped in this life you didn’t choose
But at this game, you don’t want to lose
No explanations, nor solutions
These poems & entries
Only models & theories

Even when mankind feels like an error
To the powerful Master
You never surrender
Nope, never, for there’s always hope
After all life is dope
Yes never slick like soap
More like struggles & suffering

But we keep moving & fighting
Because who knows everything about anything?
You, the reader, the player
Of your own life the director
And forever the seeker
Of the light at the end of the tunnel

Good reading to y’all

The Heart’s Call

About The Heart’s Call:

Poetry to awaken the heart and reinvigorate the soul!
Each poem provides a new vibratory experience that guides the reader towards spiritual growth!
This book is my journey from awakening to present day. The book is meant as a catalyst for spiritual growth, the goal being to ignite the fire that lies dormant. We are all called to serve, to serve ourselves and then the world. Let this be a message to all that would choose the path of service, the true path. As each fear disintegrates we walk closer to the truth of our nature, and this is my truth.

The Candle Flame
Here we are,
after all these years.
All our fears have led us here.
Where did it go,
all of the times.
Each moment falls,
so truth can rise.
Each day a drop,
the rain so soft.
Your surface drenched,
from years distraught.
But still they drip,
each moment falls.
Through wedding bliss,
and deadly sorrow.
But here we sit,
amongst the chaos.
Our flame still lit,
the candle inside us.

Poetry on Inspiring Women -Book Three

About Poetry on Inspiring Women -Book Three:

In this book, tributes have been written to the following ten women who made an impact in society: Mary Shelley, Catherine the Great, Vera Atkins, Cleopatra, Elizabeth Fry, Mary Anning, Joan of Arc, Isabella of Castile, Catherine of Siena and Wangari Maathai

Excerpts from some of these poems:

A Dream Writer

She saw her ghost fable in front of her eyes, with signs of life
She was frightened and spent the night in uneasy wakerife
She began writing her dream and it became “Frankenstein”
She realised that she had stepped out from childhood wherein

The Star of the North

She was a great patron of Russian opera, culture and arts
With head held high and regal costume, she won over hearts
She conferred “Charter of the Towns” and “Charter to the Nobility”
Her legal innovations bolted Russia to the phase of hypnotisability

She sells seashells

She risked her life of being crushed by the half suspended fragments
Finding ammonite and belemnite shells were her accomplishments
She searched for fossil at every tide under the hanging cliff
The valuable relics of an ancient world she would sniff

The maid of Orleans

Her prediction came true when news confirmed her assertion
She travelled through the hostile country with determination
The king had faced defeat and tried every possible option
She was the only hope for a declining administration
