( Free Verse , if you will ). I can write on love , nature , romance , comedy , politics and social issues ( just about anything ), however , I respect all writers , but I personally , would not write “ Dark ” poetry .

A synopsis of : Renee ’ s Poems with Wings are Words in Flight-I ’ ll Write Our Wrongs ! “ Renee ’ s Poems with Wings Are Words in Flight is a collection of poetic accounts designed to have colorblind justice , hear the truth , touch freedom , taste love , and smell the Rose of Sharon . This book is written with such conviction that it is sure to cleanse the soul , mend the broken heart , and ultimately transform one ’ s mind .”
7 . What inspired you to write this title or how did you come up with the storyline ?
My first published poem was written for Rutha Mae Harris of Albany , Ga ., Original Freedom Singer and Civil Rights Activist . The poem “ Ms . Rutha Mae Harris ” was given to her by my college Professor , Dr . Todd Allen , and was published with Judith Hampton-Thompson , Metro Gazette Publishing Company . Since then , it has been my badge of honor to have met the legendary Ms . Rutha Mae Harris , one of the original Freedom Singers of the Civil Rights Movement who ‘ sang ’ for Dr . Martin Luther King Jr ., on August 28 , 1963 , at The March on Washington DC . Note * Ms . Rutha Mae Harris has written acknowledgements in every-one of my books thus far . Rutha ’ s poem was also published on the CUBM / Geneva College at the Center for Urban Biblical Ministry website . My poems have recently been published with KWEE Magazine , Tuck Magazine , and Rhythm and Muse Artist Spotlight . My work was also used in Albany Georgia , Pittsburgh Pennsylvania , Tulum Mexico and Wake Forest North Carolina just to name a few places where Renee ’ s Poems with Wings are Words in Flight have flown across God ’ s seas .
8 . Is there a message in your book that you want your readers to grasp ?
“ But I say unto you , Love your enemies , bless them that curse you , do good to them that hate you , and pray for them which despitefully use you , and persecute you ” ( Matthew 5:44 KJV ). 9 . Is there anything else you would like readers to know about your book ?
My poetic accounts are written from my heart , mind and soul and anyone reading my work is sure to feel my spirit .
10 . Do you have any advice for other writers ?
Yes ; the late Dr . Maya Angelou , taught me how to ‘ RISE ’ within my writings and because of her “ Still I write , I write , I ’ ll write ” therefore , I say unto you , that one must release fear in exchange to write .
11 . What book ( s ) are you reading now ? Or recently read ?
I just completed a Humanities Literature Course while in college and I read The Great Gatsby by F . Scott Fitzgerald and ( reread ) The Color Purple by Alice Walker . Note *
Both were excellent writes .
