My Thoughts: I've been thinking a lot about my personal life and where I want to take Pretty Petty Poetry. Some may think poetry is "old fashioned" and I can see that. But with this organization, my team and I are proving that wrong. I have learned more about myself through this organization than in any text books. For an example, how to trust in The Lord. Yes, I did trust in Him, but, it’s a different kind of trust that I’m talking about. I can’t really explain it.

My Spiritual Thoughts: I love this song and what it says. You will not be alone in anything. Christ is there for you.

The News:

Bad news: we lost two great poets, Touch and DC Poet. The reason is they have not been doing their jobs.

Good News: We have a new member: Stitch. He’ll be doing “Your Thoughts”. Welcome Stitch to PPP.

If you want to join the PPPT (Pretty Petty Poetry Team), let me know. There's an age limit, 12 and up.

Happiness comes from the heart: A year ago, a guy friended me because we are in the same Facebook group. We talked off and on as friends. Well, in January of 2019, we started to talk again. Something happened to our hearts. We fell deeply in love. This guy is Jon. We have tons in common that it truly scary. He’s in a wheelchair too. He has The Priesthood, and that, that’s huge for me. Jon, I love you very much.

Your Thoughts: We truly want your thoughts on this poem:

Soulmate

When the sun sleeps down,

The tears falling down,

Sleepless nights have come,

Darkness overcome the light.

When the lights get lighter,

But darkness make a move,

Conquering the love in my soul,

I tried to fight with the light.

The suns will rise again,

Then you showed u

On the front of my window,

Wearing your sweetest smile.

I never notice that I smile,

I adore your cutest cheeks,

I met someone I'm in love,

I never think you will come.

Cause we will be together,

You and me will be forever,

No one can't separate us,

We will fight together.

STITCH

Quotes of the Month:

Poem of the Month:

Lyrics of the Month: Poetry has a plethora of styles, and our ultimate favorite is 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.
