Our Creation Book Of Poetry

Edna René Coleman Jones compiled the poetry in Our Creation Book of Poetry after many years of experiencing many difficulties in life. Through this book of poetry she has expressed her thoughts on: traveling for the job and pleasure; volunteering in various capacities; interesting people she has met at the hospital, churches, and her job; being a nature lover; observing the different seasons; and overcoming many illnesses with someone special in her life who cared. She considers herself blessed.

Like a gentle rain falling on parched earth, this is poetry to nourish the soul. As We Are Creation brings together reflections on the natural world and our inner reality to reveal the spiritual essence of existence. As Barrette relates in “Your Gift,” Truth, in its pure form, a quiet lesson brought In opening a heart to gratitude, the message given— Creation’s gift The poetry in this collection discovers pure truth in the energetic ebb and flow of life; in the flowing quality of sunlight; in the cracks of strong tree bark and the hues of a fluttering dragonfly. Written from a place of complete gratitude and reverence towards Creation, Barrette’s poems encourage us to be present, to be curious, to wonder: to celebrate the world around and within us, and to understand ourselves as part of Creation’s plan.

This book is a composite of poems written by a young romantic teenage boy and by a longtime senior citizen--both of which just happens to be me. Also included in the content are several short stories, some of which are in poetic form. Enjoy.

Love by Night begins with anxious hesitation and nervous attraction, grows into tender affection, blossoms into passionate love, delves deep into whimsical dreams, and finally builds an image of an idyllic future together, as the reader develops along with the two characters of this poetic story. Written as a conversation between two points of view in constant change and flux with each other, this book invites the reader into the conversation about the love that connects one person to another, but also all of us to each other. Through this written testament to the emotional journeys books can take us on, S. K. Williams breaks down stereotypes, sexism, relationship roles, and brings awareness to mental health, grief, anxiety, depression, how to move forward, how to love in a healthy way, and, most of all, how to love yourself when it feels impossible.

The wonder of poetry can be found in its simplicity. Each phrase is easy for the reader to comprehend. Words are properly selected and then composed in a rhythmic manner to convey a special meaning. In God's Glorious Design, the emphasis is placed on God's miracle of creation. Scenes from nature are depicted to secure the attention of the reader, and then the author closes with a verse that brings everything into perspective. We are reminded that God is in control of every aspect of our lives. The world has changed in so many ways since the day Christ died on the cross for our sins, but the truth found in the resurrection story will never change. For those who believe and accept Christ as their Savior, there is the promise of everlasting life and peace. For those who continue to search for the truth, there is still hope. If you are lost, as I was thirty years ago, surrender your life to God, just as you are; He is waiting for you, with open arms, to bring you into His fold.
