A Press Release from the Color Black

Unbeautiful or misunderstood Beauty? Negativity jabs at the color black with a long pointy stick. Find optimism and joy in the color black. A Press Release from the Color Black will enlighten its readers on black's optimistic positive side, not just negative associations. The book of poetry and prose creates a new way of rethinking thoughts and gives you the chance to explore your feelings openly and honestly about the perception of skin tone, the world we live in, our place in the universe and beauty of nature.
The goal of A Press Release from the Color Black is to reinvent the color black to the entire world. Ideas once thought to be true are proven false. This is the end of the road for black's unofficial, official status of an evil gloomy Gus. The prolific untruths told about the color black no longer have credit. Readers will learn that the color black is much more than the favorite color of the grim reaper.

Loves Trellis -BAS Poetry Submission

Loves Trellis
Sleepwalking since spring
Being in love is such a fragile state
A timid daredevil
Filling the empty with anticipation
Of approaching joy
Butterfly flutter by
Love is the principal passenger
Casting spells
Upon the heart
Kissing the tears of lonely
Erasing the absence that came before
The echoes of a thousand fears
Fall on silent ears
Love lives simply
Though the rainbows arch
Painting the rising sun
Brightened eyes escort glowing smiles
Slow dancing with sunrays
Lingering ja… Continue

The Color Black is Evil

The influence of positive thinking in your everyday life will change your outlook and improve optimistic energy. Keeping a positive attitude will allow you and the people you are in contact with to joy life and give you more of the satisfaction you deserve. The first step to improving your attitude is to turn a negative into a positive. Have you heard the saying "Every cloud has a silver lining?" The book A Press Release from the Color Black turns the supposed negative color in the crayon box in… Continue

How are you my sister, I would like to present the opportunity for you to do something that might one day help out a family member, or even a friend. Your support would be greatly appreciated, and if you will, please pass this info. along to your friends, if not I still love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Most of you already know that I have written a book entitled; There's Something Phony About "US" the church which deals with us who say we're saved, but nothing about our lifestyle supports our claim. But what you may not know is that when you purchase my book, 10% of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society(my grandfather died from prostate cancer), and also the American heart association(my grandmother died from a massive heart attack). There are two books to choose from. You can purchase the books for just $12, or $18 by clicking on the links below. Let's help put an end to these 2 diseases that's affecting all people alike. So, on behalf of Myself, the Kingdom of God, my grandmother, and my grandfather, thank you very much for your support! May God continue to bless each and everyone of you. Please click on the link below to purchase or preview my book. Love you to Life!!!!
