Nordette,
If us poets were to read your work each day we could all learn from your way with words...and get better at what we do.
You have a gift of telling it like it is..
This poem hits home alot with me. I have to fight the darkness each time I write due to sensitivity to world issues and the stories at hand.
Recently, I authenticated myself and told myself "no more".
I have to stay out of the darkenss for those people that I may bring with me unintentionally.
Those are powerful words you have written and your talent is immeasurable. You should be proud!!

| We all know that Nordette's voice has a cadence and intonation all her own. My Maine Coon cat, CeCe, who is a true heiffer and usually annoyed at everything, strolled over, sat down and listened intently! Now, that's powerful. This covers the bases of man's seeming inability to realize that he's doing it to himself. Thanks for the well-honed button pushing. Time to go plant a tree and sell my big ol' detroit and buy a hybrid. |

THE POETS SPEAKING BEAUTY reflects a very-deeply troubled society in which we live and mirrors life's sordid current events where Nordette lances open culture in a precise, raw view layed out before us with dynamic words that bleed, feel, and scream for change. A poem like this should create closure to dirty deeds done dirt cheap and vigilante society. A call for poets to pen their words and perform them explicitly for the sake of healing the troubled world. The audio is powerful, so damn powerful in fact that Ms. Adams' voice can be heard from the heavenly acoustics of the church to the PA system of the corner gang. With current trends of ugliness, violence, and hatred accelerating, today is the day in which THE POETS SPEAKING BEAUTY should be considered the flagship of the nation's healing and look at our future with confidence for not only ourselves, but that future of our next generation...

First ... powerful scripture was used as a summary, and especially necessary in this day and age that we live in. Well done!
This is a powerhouse write that, in certain ways, reminded me of Jeremiahs, and Isaiahs, and Ezekiels powerful prophetic laments to a world going mad. Not only were they speaking of future events, they were also addressing much of the indiscretions and sins of the times that they lived in.
Words of life must come from somewhere, the Holy Bible and spiritually enlightened Poet's and writers are a good place to start.
Well done ...
