BEAUTY OF POETRY BY BRENDA MOHAMMED RATED FIVE -STARS

 

FIVE-STAR BOOK REVIEW FOR BEAUTY OF POETRY

Dear Readers.

I received a wonderful Five-Star Review from Florabelle Lutchman for my New Release, BEAUTY OF POETRY, on Goodreads.

Here is the Review:

"Beauty of Poetry!!

What an apt name the Author, Brenda Mohammed, gave to this book, her sixtieth!!!

The book is filled with exceptionally written poems that come straight from the heart.

They are of different genres and all are artistically written, dealing with many of her personal feelings and experiences.

The poet says, ”Poetry is in my thoughts and my dreams.”

She writes because of her intense love for poetry. A reader could easily discern such from reading each poem. Once you start you can never put the book down.

She writes about Love saying as we all know, “Love is the greatest virtue of all.” There are a few other poems on Love. Then she goes on to write of her travels to London, Venice, Rome, and numerous other places she visited with family.

What is most striking about this “Beauty” however, are the religious poems contained in the book - Jesus cleansing the temple, the unconditional love God has for us-” God first loved us and wants us to love Him too.”

If you do not as yet know Christ read “Who is Jesus Christ?” The Lenten Season and Holy Week are also specifically dealt with.

Family Values and poems on cancer appeal to the reader. The Author is a cancer survivor and she writes, “As a cancer survivor for eighteen years, it breaks my heart,

When close relatives and friends from this disease depart.”

Please obtain a copy of this book and read it to your heart’s content. You will never regret it. As a matter of fact, you will consider it a joy immeasurable."

Florabelle Lutchman

The Book was an Amazon No 1 New Release for more than a week.

SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024 AND BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM

 

SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024 AND BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM

Solar eclipses are natural astronomical events that occur regularly.

They are spiritual reminders of our Creator’s power and creativity.

In an eclipse, the alignment of the sun, moon, and earth in the sky,

Reflects the intricate order of the cosmos that God has designed.

*

Solar eclipses help us experience a powerful sense of awe.

As we marvel at the glorious sight we are drawn closer to God.

The life-giving light and warmth of the sun are symbols of God’s love.

When the sun is eclipsed by the moon, our focus turns to God above.

*

The eclipse represents the contrast between spiritual light and darkness.

Solar eclipses can evoke a sense of renewal and spiritual awareness.

Celestial disturbances are associated with The Day of the Lord.

These cosmic signs serve as warnings to get right with God.

*

Eclipses are significant events that direct our attention to our Creator.

Psalm 19:1 points to the wondrous work and reality of our Maker.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”

Experiencing a solar eclipse on Earth is a momentous occasion.

      POETRY TO FORGET YOUR SORROWS

#Newrelease

BEAUTY OF POETRY is the 60^th Publication of Brenda Mohammed.

The Beauty of Poetry written by Author Brenda Mohammed is filled with poems of various genres separated by picturesque posters before every genre.

She has penned poems on love, nature, world icons, world monuments, peace, motivational poems, and Christian life.

As a cancer survivor, she has dedicated a section for persons fighting cancer, surviving cancer, or lost loved ones because of this dread disease.

The book is easy to read as readers can read his/her favourite genres in the order they prefer.

The famous English poet John Keats said, “An object of beauty gives us perennial joy. Beauty never fades and is not devalued.  A thing of beauty is a joy forever and it makes us forget the sorrows and sufferings of the world.”

Keats also conceptualized beauty as truth and truth as beauty. He said, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.”

Another famous English poet, William Wordsworth said, “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”

All the above describes the beautiful poetry in the book, and what makes it special.

It will be a beautiful asset to your library.

The book is on Amazon in Kindle Version and Paperback.

THE DYING SWAN

THE DYING SWAN

 

 

The dying swan turned round and around.

Tiptoeing on the hard and concreted ground.

Stunningly beautiful and graceful in its steps.

At Stollmeyer's Castle, we gasped for breath.

*

Its astounding performance, we watched in awe.

Such a wondrous act we had never seen before.

The part was played by one of Minshall’s men,

In the Land of the Humming Bird, a Carnival band.

*

Walking on stilts, he climbed the high stage,

To receive his prize, and the crowd was amazed.

The presenter of the prize stood on the highest elevation.

To present to the Dying Swan his well-earned token.

WORLD POETRY DAY

         Poetry has been around since ancient Biblical times.

  King David, Moses, and King Solomon wrote the

  Psalms.

  Poets share ideas, express emotions, and create

  imagery.

  And proudly present them to readers in beautiful poetry.

   *

   With poetry, we can write about anything we feel.

   True things, and even things unreal.                               

   Poetry can take us into an enchanted world.

   A land of dreams, reality, hope, and places untold.

   *

   Poetry can be used to express something artistically.

  The use of rhyme and rhythm contributes magically.

  Thoughts and ideas can be arranged in stanzas,

  Making the language simple to connect with readers.

  *

  Poetry is long-lived, and an important part of art and

culture.

  Blank verse, rhymed, free verse, narrative, and Tanka,

  Pastoral, sonnet, elegies, odes, limericks, epics, and

  haiku.

  Even Soliloquy, villanelle, lyrical, ballad, and Gogyohka

  too.

   *

   When I visited Shakespeare’s hometown, I grew to love

   Poetry.

   Like a stranger standing at my door, it waited to greet

   me.

   It brought out the best in me and made me happy.

   On World Poetry Day, I display my poetry books proudly.

EDITORIAL REVIEW OF SOOTHING POETRY

 

EDITORIAL REVIEW OF SOOTHING POETRY BY THE TRANSLATOR

In this collection, SOOTHING POETRY IN SPANISH and ENGLISH, written by Brenda Mohammed, the author includes poems on a variety of topics.

She writes about love, dreams, hopes, family, and the pandemic in which we find ourselves today.

My favourite poem is "The Personal Benefits of Lockdown" because, in this poem, the author manages to see the positive aspects of these terrible times and can appreciate the good that the pandemic has brought out in various family members.

She points out the hope in the hopeless and the importance of not despairing in a time of darkness.

As implied in the poem, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and it is important to carry on with our lives.

The author's optimism is also apparent in the other poems in the collection.

She pens her thoughts on various subjects like making mistakes, women's role in society, human companionship, and the importance of nature and our surroundings.

In one of her poems, she also gives great advice on how to live life to the fullest.

Throughout the poems, the author displays a deep insight into life and experiences that we all encounter in our day-to-day existence.

She attempts to place these everyday experiences into an inspiring collection that makes for comforting reading during these difficult times.

They are written simply and with feeling as the author muses on all types of situations, no matter how banal they may seem.

The author uses material that is not usually poetic and turns them into poetry. Her work depicts an extraordinary observation of normal, simple occurrences. She has the skill of making the mundane poetic.

One example is when she talks about friends sharing a recipe and experiencing a joyous time.

Another example is the poem that talks about her favourite chair.

The chair seems so inviting that it begins to adopt human qualities.

In short, the poems in this compilation are didactic, fun to read, and full of hope and insight.

The collection has interests for every reader and I would recommend the poems as enjoyable reading to help us reflect on our everyday experiences.

The observant eye of the author makes us look afresh at human nature and what we need to experience a true sense of satisfaction in this life.

The theme of optimism runs throughout the collection.

The Book is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/SOOTHING-POETRY.../dp/B08D4VSBV9
