Introduction

from NicoleLeaf Poetry · host Nicole Leaf

Hi! I'm Nicole Leaf-well at least this is my pen name. Definition is the book and it available on Amazon A poet’s view of 2020. How will you define 2020? These poems are about everything I have overcome in life And all the lessons learned: Some good, Some bad. But it still taught me about myself And I’m forever grateful For everything God has done in my life. It’s a beautiful thing letting go of the past And embracing tomorrow. While writing poetry, there was a global pandemic, which was an awakening on this planet. A global revolution was right on the horizon regarding race in the world. There was so much uncertainty in the air with COVID-19. It resulted in the highest number of job losses since the Great Depression. People were dying at alarming numbers. The world’s definition of normal has changed significantly ever since.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Liezel Graham Liezel Graham Meditations and poetry by Liezel Graham.Consider this a small pause in which to regain your stillness.www.liezelgraham.com Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast Deborah L.
