Poetry Prose And Praise

Poetry, Prose and Praise is a collection of writings that touch the soul of man, appealing to its basic emotion. In every poem there is an element of grandeur about my life experiences that I find worth mentioning. Poetry, Prose and Praise is a theme that has followed me dating back some thirty years, when I had staged a Black History program at my church. This was a church founded on "love and prayer", but within its pseudo-fundamentalist setting there were a sector of congregants who felt that there was life outside of the church. My friends and I did push the envelope, to say the least. To the reader. I certainly hope Poetry, Prose and Praise does for you what it did for me. Lift the soul. Enjoy
