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.

In 'My Life as a Banker' Brenda Mohammed, the author, combines History and Geography with her positive outlook to bring her story to life.
The Memoir is the story of a woman's determination to succeed in a profession that did not always favor women.
Set on the lovely Caribbean island of Trinidad. MY LIFE AS A BANKER: A LIFE WORTH LIVING is a fascinating personal memoir written by Brenda Mohammed, a former bank manager.
The book starts with the author’s early life and childhood, leading up to her first job in banking.
Having defied death twice at the ages of eight and nine, she excels and graduates from High School at the tender age of sixteen, and lands a job with an International bank with ties to the United Kingdom.
Dealing with customers and money issues can be stressful, but Brenda proved that hard work and determination pay.
She gradually moved up the ranks, and received several promotions, leading up to senior managerial status.
Brenda describes changes in the banking system, changes in the bank's attitude towards its employees throughout her working years, and the important roles she played in bringing about changes.
My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living by Brenda Mohammed was the winner of Best Bio/Memoir 2nd place in Metamorph Publishing Summer Indie Book Awards 2016.
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.
