My Thoughts: It’s really amazing how much I truly know how to do this organization without any training. If I knew what I know now, I think I would still PPP because it really makes me a live. I did a client’s poem, and I had writers block for a week or two. I tried to work on it, and nothing came. So, I ask more information; she gave exactly what I needed. I really think Heavenly Father helped me. The reason why I said that is… He knows what the client needs. He knows you and me personally. He knows your past, your future, and what you're doing right now. He knows everything about you. You are His child and He love you. If you need Him, just pray; He will come by a person you know. Maybe that’s why I had a very strong impression to created PPP. You see, if I didn't want to create this organization, no one would. I found to trust in Him as I teach, write, design. He allowed me to be this way, handicapped, for a reason. There are many reasons, but one is PPP.
My Spiritual Thoughts: I love this song because it’s true. Enjoy.
The News: There’re two new members of Pretty Petty Poetry Team, but, one person wants to be “Anonymous”. So, I’m keeping this person wishes. This person is doing the Military Issue because Amber Rose is overseas on tour (war) for nine months. Please, keep her in your prayers. Another member is Esquire. He’ll be doing “Nature’s Animals “. Welcome to our nutty team.
New Issue: We are creating a new issue. We don’t have a name yet. We know it’ll be narrative and epic poems.
EXTREMELY Wonderful news: James got 4 clients within a day. When he told me this, I was very overwhelmed because as the CEO of the organization, I want my team do their very best. He is doing very well as writing poetry.
Your Thoughts: We truly want your thoughts on this poem:
Time could carry our weight
If only we could paint dice
to wait on the windowsill,
Wait for a guest,
Wait for a moment of your pride
or patience
And let it be
Dusty or kept.
Choice of an arm,
reaching as far as your hands can touch your face.
Do you cry or rest?
Tim George
Quotes of the Month: "The greatest obstacle between us and success is our fear of losing." Fuseini Dipantiche Mohammed Naporoo Kamaldeen Shitobu
Poem of the Month: Michael O did NOT quit.
WHEN THE SOUL SEES-EYES MELTS
In Shakespeare’s “Othello,”
Iago said to Desdemona,
“She counts it a vice in her virtue
Not to do more than she is asked to do,”
Jakeju is a girl
Who did not know she was woman,
From three she had begun to glue her eyes on pages
From the front font
Up to two by three,
But her “padis” were puncture in the jungle,
Jungle junks joined Josephine, Juliet and Jakeju,
Soon, they kissed red bottles made with spirits,
Then sat on a legless bench,
Time walked away,
Time called with signs,
Time took her time to time them,
No! The sheep are far in desert,
This they did till they tightly
Entered the free world of seriousness,
Chai! The puncture punctured deeply,
Herdsman don lost his sheep,
Meh we forget the reed in the tree!
Others ate “Pomo” after each paper,
Tsunami beans carried the three T-j’s!
Dream and vision,
Vision and dream,
Not attained,
No plantains,
All pictures faded like Water mark,
Now with rugged rods,
Bent backs and crippled legs on SUPER SACK®
“Eyah! Padis don komot,”
No pair of shoes for their “domot,”
The wealth and dreams had been dashed under the soil.
They were to be better than their worst,
But their worsts made them more worst,
They were more than stones on a piece of land.
Michael Olorunwumi
Lyrics of the Month: Poetry has a plethora of styles, and our ultimate favorite is lyrics.
No lyrics.
Want help: If you want to help with “Pretty Petty Poetry”, you can! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the desktop wallpapers and getting us clients. We can’t do everything by ourselves anymore, too stressful.
For New Comers: This is AMANDA’S idea to do this business. Everything you see is her alone with the help from God. This is a part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. She has been studying English with the help from a professor, Nancy Lowe, from Weber State University, Utah, USA since October of 2011.
