Poetry Echoes Through The Ages
This is Joree's second Book, and an amazing book this is!
"Searching the history of poetry is to discover a language connecting people throughout the centuries. Poetry appears on records of most literate cultures and can be found on monoliths, rune stones and stele." Joree Williams has studied different poetic forms from many countries, and has chosen examples to help you as you search for your poetic voice.
Some poems were selected as an example of the sameness in all societies; while others were chosen as they have no counterpart in any other country. For students of poetry, this s a useful learning and reference book.
This book contains an impressive variety of poems, presented in many styles, with each structure broken down and explained. There are examples of narrative, free verse, didactic, lyric, prose, blank verse, allegory and more. For readers who enjoy poetry for its own sake, the compositions by Joree Williams are not only filled with wisdom's and passionate emotion, but you will also find yourself getting lost within many of the pieces. Thoroughly entertaining as well as educational!
This book is a must for your collection whether you are a beginner to poetry or a more seasoned writer, you will find there is much to discover within these pages!

Nine Clouds To Heaven
by Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson
Clouds float in and out of the sky, just like they do in our lives,
But no matter whether misty, heavy and black,
the sun is always shining above,
Symbolically we must weather the clouds,
be they light and misty or heavy and black,
For they are part of life and it is through fighting
the heartache and pain with loving faith,
That we grow to be nearer God and the light above…
Even on the darkest days the sun is still shining there above,
like God’s love for you … So ride the clouds,
till you’ve risen above them, then you’ll be in God’s light of love!
These poetic words will help show the way….
When Pat became a spiritual healer and healing tutor for her local
church, she first got her inspirations for writing poetry.
Pat believed prayer helped very much and that all the poetic words
she has written were truly inspired. Now with them being in print
she hopes they help and guide others.
