When I started thinking about my poetry book I decided to write
about things that I love and enjoy so much. I feel for poems come
out right and enjoyable the poet has to be genuine and true about
her feelings and what to write about and word must come from the
heart. Also the vocabulary and expressions used must reflect a
mastery of the language to choose the most suitable words that will
be great match perfect for each situation, that is a skill and a
gift that God had blessed me with an I am thankful for that. I have
also chosen my subjects and situations based on the simple things
in life that people enjoy and find it close to their hearts because
I believe that when it comes to poetry the simpler the better. I
have also written about a range of topics to make it exciting and
give the reader the experience and enjoy different situations and
reflections, after all variety is the spice of life. Some of the
topics that I picked for my reflections and poems were included
animals, nature, cultures and values, and faraway places. I am a
huge animal lover and you will feel that throughout this book, I
spend a lot of my time looking at them, watching animals and
wildlife shows, going to zoos and aquariums. The animal world that
shares our planet, there is so much beauty and serenity in
connection with nature and learn many lessons in struggle, hard
work, and motherhood. However, not everything in the animal kingdom
is rosy fairy tales of beautiful fur, colorful feathers, and fluffy
cubs, there are also a lot of savagery, blood, and cruel fight for
survival. I felt to covey that world as it is just like it takes
place in nature in a very unique way that hasn't been described
before that that reader will find interesting and amusing. In
""Thieves of the Sky,"" ""Dracula of the Jungle,"" ""I smell
Blood,"" ""Gentle Giants,"" and ""Racing the Wind"" I spoke of the
beauty and of heartwarming sights and discipline of these animals,
but at the same time I uncovered their schemes and manipulation in
stalking their Prays and tearing them apart in cruel and bloody
manner as a mean of survival and domination of the strong over the
venerable. In a related topic, but also a matter of principle I
wanted to make my voice heard to add that to the many calls and
protests against the brutality and savagery oh bullfighting in
Spain and other places. The torture and sedition that is inflicted
on that poor creature is beyond comprehension. I wanted to portray
that in an imaginative story poem that would describe my feeling
about a bull fight event and what was a better way to do that from
the perspective of the bull itself. In my piece ""Ole Ole Save Me""
I thought to myself: What if the bull can talk, express his grief,
and cry for help? What would it say about its plight, the matador,
the surroundings, and people around it? How would it react to the
constant stabbing, bleeding wounds, and intimidation? I did that in
a very interesting way that will capture the imagination and
curiosity of the readers, I consider that one of my good thoughts
in this book. I was very fortunate that at the age of fourteen I
was able to travel to many faraway lands and explore so many places
and cultures not as a passive tourist but to live them and actually
experience them firsthand. I wanted to share with my readers those
great events and talk about the people values, traditions, and
their perspective of things and much more!
