    About this ebook

    I write about life, relationships, experiences and things I see going on around me. Writing is a release, a way of expressing how I feel, a clearing of my mind.

    A small book of poetry, covering the larger issues of life. My soul is at peace when I can be alone with my thoughts surrounded by the beauty of nature. The written word, like beautiful music, leaves behind a tangible essence. This collection of poems is the tangible essence I leave behind from an African-American womans point of view, expressing a certain state of mind on various issues. Words are a powerful tool, beware how you use them.

      a little tiger with the heart of a lion

      from whom I learned so much—

      always be ready to play

      take naps as needed

      stretch often

      bask in the sunshine

      give nose only when you really want to

      when you don’t want to be found

      disappear by hiding in an obvious spot and keep still

      when you want solitude, just turn tail and walk away

       ~A Man and His Horse~

      We ride as one

      My horse and I

      We ride as one
