This was a definite tease; I have to find out what happened and who the stranger was. An exciting story and characters to be believed. I want a "taste of this novel.
This is a very insightful piece that took me back when I was a young girl. My Mom use to tell me "stop looking up at the sky." I was one of those unusual little girls that saw images in the sky that scared me. So my Mom would say, "stop looking up...

"The Tongue" - Poem written by Ruth Sadi El
THE TONGUE
Written April 1987
The words you speak will never die
But they live on the truth and a lie
We can do everything
But control the tongue
It shoots out words
Like a machine gun
The words hit here
And they’ll hit there
At times we speak them
And we… Continue

Day 28 National Poetry Month
This is day 28 of National Poetry Month but for a true poetry April is every month.
Once Upon A Time Ago
Once upon a time ago
Our Ancestors lost
Their way
Enslaved in a country
Stripped of all they knew
But they never forgot
How to pray
They tried to keep up
Their culture and customs
From the Motherland
They loved
Generations past
And they forgot
The true Message
Was sent from above
Generations of History
They tried to erase away
But they forgot the strength
Of our people was found
In… Continue

Day 25 Ntl Poetry Month
APRIL 25, 2008
IT'S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE
It's hard to say goodbye
To one who was so close
Who stood by your side
Who talked to you the most
It's hard to say goodbye
To someone that you love
The fear of not seeing them
Below or up above
Why is it so hard
When you know
Death is not an end
They go on to smoother seas
Where their life starts again
It's so hard to say goodbye
When this earthen vessels
Is no more
But the real you inside
Has gone to another shore
On this plane of manifest
